Abstract

An 11-year-old male presented with abdominal pain and emesis. Serum chemistries revealed cholestasis and an ERCP demonstrated sclerosing cholangitis. Secondary causes of this disease process were excluded. Sclerosing cholangitis is distinctly uncommon in the pediatric age group, but it should be considered in evaluation of patients of any age with cholestasis. It appears in some cases that there may be subtle histologic and radiographic features which separate the pediatric and adult forms of the disease.
