| Core Tip |
Color Doppler ultrasound finding of hepatic subcapsular flow has shown much potential for discriminating biliary atresia (BA). While in clinical practice, we have noticed a similar but more intuitive phenomenon - a laparoscopic finding of hepatic subcapsular spider-like telangiectasis (HSST) sign, which may be a specific marker for BA. Based on the current data, we found that the sensitivity and specificity of the HSST sign were each generally close to 100%. |
