Spontaneous perforation of the common bile duct in infancy: role of Tc-99m mebrofenin hepatobiliary imaging.

ABSTRACT

A 2-month-old infant had jaundice that began 3 days after birth. The clinical features were suggestive of biliary obstruction. Tc-99m mebrofenin hepatobiliary imaging confirmed the diagnosis of spontaneous perforation of the common bile duct, and surgical intervention resulted in progressive recovery.
