Potential Pitfalls on the 99mTc-Mebrofenin Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy in a Patient with Biliary Atresia Splenic Malformation Syndrome
Biliary atresia (BA) is an obliterative cholangiopathy affecting 1:10.000-14.000 of newborns. Infants with Biliary Atresia Splenic Malformation syndrome (BASM) are a subgroup of BA patients with additional congenital anomalies. Untreated the disease will result in fatal liver failure within the first years of life. Kasai portoenterostomy restores bile flow and delay the progressive liver damage...
متن کاملHepatobiliary scintigraphy for early diagnosis of biliary atresia.
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of (99m)Technetium-trimethylbromo-iminodiacetic acid hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HS) for the diagnosis of biliary atresia (BA). METHODS From January 2005 to December 2009, a total of 47 infants with conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia (> 20 micromol/l total bilirubin of which 20% is conjugated) underwent HS. BA was suspected if no tra...
متن کاملApplication of ursodeoxycholic acid in hepatobiliary scintigraphy for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia: Comparison with phenobarbital
Introduction: Early differentiation of biliary atresia from neonatal hepatitis is of utmost importance, since on time surgery of biliary atresia significantly improves the outcome. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy is an integral part of diagnosis work-up of these patients; however its specificity for diagnosis of biliary atresia is suboptimal. In this study we evaluated t...
متن کاملHepatobiliary excretion of 99mTc-EC: A potential source of mistake in the interpretation of renal scintigraphy
A 10-year-old boy with a history of bloody discoloration of urine following recent appendectomy was referred to our department for urinary leakage/fistula evaluation. A renal Technetium-99m-L,L-ethylenedicysteine (99mTc-EC) scintigraphy was performed. After injection of radiotracer, a focus of activity appeared in the supralateral part of the right kidney which was confirmed as accum...
متن کاملHepatobiliary Iminodiacetic Acid Scanning Detects High-Grade Biliary Obstruction Secondary to IgG4-Related Sclerosing Cholangitis.
In this report, we present a case of high-grade biliary obstruction discovered on hepatobiliary scintigraphy secondary to IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis with concomitant autoimmune pancreatitis, a recently described entity that is gaining recognition in the radiology literature. To our knowledge, the scintigraphic findings have yet to be described in the literature. We present the hepatobi...
