Fifty infants with obstructive jaundice were reviewed. Other than jaundice, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly were the other common presentations. The mean age of referral was 9.4 weeks. This was unsatisfactory as the prognosis depends on the age of corrective surgery. Majority of the non surgical cholestasis were due to idiopathic hepatitis. These patients did well as all of them were asymptomic and had no evidence of liver disease at 2 years of age.
