Abstract:
ERCP may provide more definite diagnosis, preoperative guidance, and endoscopic therapy in many children with known and suspected disorders of the pancreas or biliary tract. To our knowledge, there has been rare case of ERCP in children and no reported case of ERCP performed in inf~int less than 2 years old in Korea. We report a case of KRCP performed in 26 month old girl who was admitted to evaluate jaundice. We diagnosed CBD stones and choledochal cyst, Todani type III containiaig stones by ERCP. After endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST), removal of stones, and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage(END) her bilirubin level normalized about 2 months later.
