INI-CET 2018 - Surgery PYQs Practice Questions

Q: All of the following are usually associated findings in the given condition except? (AIIMS May 2018)

Absent kidney. ***Absent kidney*** - **Absent kidney (renal agenesis)** is not a typical associated finding in biliary atresia. - Biliary atresia primarily involves malformations of the **bile ducts** and is not directly linked to renal agenesis. - This is the correct answer to this "EXCEPT" question. *Hepatic artery anomalies* - **Hepatic artery anomalies**, such as aberrant or hypoplastic hepatic arteries, are frequently associated with biliary atresia. - These vascular malformations can contribute to the pathogenesis or progression of the disease. *Malrotation of gut* - **Intestinal malrotation** is a common abdominal anomaly found in conjunction with biliary atresia. - The altered embryological development affecting the biliary system can simultaneously impact gut rotation. *Polysplenia* - **Polysplenia**, a condition with multiple small spleens, is part of the heterotaxy syndrome often linked with biliary atresia. - This association reflects a broader developmental defect affecting left-right body axis determination. *Cardiac anomalies* - **Cardiac anomalies** are recognized associations with biliary atresia, particularly in the syndromic form. - These can include various congenital heart defects as part of the broader malformation syndrome.
