Abstract
- Kabuki syndrome is characterized by peculiar facial features, developmental delay, and mental retardation. Congenital hepatic abnormalities in Kabuki syndrome patients have been sporadically reported in the literature and consist of extrahepatic biliary atresia, neonatal sclerosing cholangitis, and transient neonatal cholestasis. We report here a case of congenital hepatic fibrosis in a patient with Kabuki syndrome. To our knowledge, only one case of congenital hepatic fibrosis has been reported in the setting of Kabuki syndrome.
