Abstract

Our paper reports a case of hepatic angioma revealed by neonatal cholestasis, thing that has never been reported in the literature to our knowledge. A newborn boy of 25 days of life had cholestatic jaundice since his fifth day of life. During its health assessment, the angioscan detected the presence of multiple hepatic agiomas. The rest of the etiological report returned without any anomaly. Beta-blockers were started with a very good clinical and ultrasonographic evolution after 12 months of treatment.

Keywords: Liver hemangioma; beta-blockers; cholestasis; congenital; neonatal.
