Obstructive jaundice is a surgical problem that occurs when there is an obstruction to the passage of bile from the liver cells to the intestine [1]. It contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality [2]. Early diagnosis of the cause is very important especially in malignant cases as curative resection is only possible in the early stages [3,4]. This study attempts to analyze the age, sex...

Neonatal jaundice is the occurrence of elevated bilirubin levels in the blood. It may be physiological or pathological. If the concentration of non-conjugated bilirubin in the blood is too high, it breaches the blood brain barrier and bilirubin encephalopathy occurs with serious consequences for the child. The aim of the research was to examine the incidence frequency of unconjugated pathologic...

von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominantly inherited neoplastic syndrome that may lead to pancreatic masses and obstructive jaundice. The present study describes the case of a 20-year-old male who suffered from obstructive jaundice due to VHL disease-associated pancreatic lesions whose primary symptom was dizziness, followed by the appearance of jaundice. Since the excision of t...

Neonatal jaundice which is yellow coloration of the skin and sclera in newborns from the accumulation of unconjugated bilirubin occurs in most newborn infants and it is the most common condition that requires medical attention in newborns. Most jaundice is benign (physiological) and usually need no treatment as it resolves within two weeks. However, the diagnosis of physiological jaundice is re...

Hepatic involvement in primary amyloidosis (AL type) is not rare but is often clinically silent. However, presentation with jaundice in AL-type amyloidosis is rare, with an incidence of less than 5% reported in the literature. It is considered to be a preterminal sign. We herein report on a case of primary hepatic amyloidosis presenting with severe intrahepatic cholestasis. Viral, drug, alcohol...
