Core Tip	Biliary atresia (BA) and choledochal cysts are diseases that cause obstructive cholestasis. While the diagnosis of BA can be rather complicated, it should be made as early as possible and treated with a Kasai hepatoportoenterostomy before the age of 2 mo for a good prognosis. All patients with persistent acholic stool and elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase should be evaluated for BA, although normal ultrasonography will not rule out BA, and such patients are candidates for intraoperative cholangiography. Choledochal cysts can present symptoms at any age, and as recurrent cholangitis attacks will lead to chronic liver disease with potential malignancy, treatment and long-term follow-up are essential.
