In the King Khalid University Hospital (Central Province) and King Fahad Hospital of the University (Eastern Province) Saudi Arabia, we identified 64 infants with cholestasis. The causes of cholestasis were idiopathic neonatal hepatitis in 29; extrahepatic biliary atresia in 17; neonatal hepatitis secondary to Rubella and Cytomegalovirus in six and four infants, respectively; paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts in six and galactosaemia in two. The diagnosis was confirmed by liver biopsy and or operative cholangiography, in all infants.
