## Contribution

The paper presents a rare complication of biliary atresia identified through a HIDA scan.

## Key findings

- The complication was identified using a hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan.

## Abstract

Biliary atresia is one of the most challenging conditions in pediatric surgery even when it is the only finding. Here we present a rare case of biliary atresia complicated with biliary ascites due to ductal perforation identified on a hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan.
