Abstract

Intrahepatic bile cysts were found in two girls after successful hepatoportoenterostomy for the treatment of extrahepatic biliary atresia, in the first case during a biliary tract infection; one of the cysts persisted after the infection had abated and finally resolved 3 years later. The cyst in the second case induced jaundice and resolved spontaneously after 3 months.
