Abstract
Background
Xanthomatosis as a metabolic disorder, is rare in children, especially in those who have undergone biliary atresia surgery.Case presentation
The patient was a 1-and-a-half-year-old boy, who was a male infant from China with East Asian ethnicity and diagnosed with Xanthomatosis after biliary atresia surgery. After systematic low fat, cholesterol-restricted diet and rational anti-inflammatory treatment for reflux cholangitis, the child's symptoms were controlled.Conclusions
Reflux cholangitis after biliary atresia may contribute to metabolic changes associated with xanthoma development.
