They were all girls of ll. 5 and 9 y ears old respectively. The etiologic factors were Salmonellosis, Congenital stenosis of the distal end of CBD and Thalassemia. All patients were survive and well after surgical treatment. Ultrasonography gives a big contribution in diagnosing an acquired obstruction of the extra hepatic biliary system.
