Overview
Overview
Bile plug syndrome is a correctable cause of obstructive jaundice in infants. In this syndrome, the extra-hepatic biliary system is obstructed by the impacted inspissated bile. It should be differentiated from Biliary atresia and choledochal cysts by surgical exploration and transcholecystic cholangiography.
