Is Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy Sufficient to Diagnose Rotor Syndrome in a 3-Year-Old Boy?

Abstract

Rotor syndrome (RS) is a benign, inherited, commonly misdiagnosed cause of conjugated hyperbilirubinemia whose identification prevents unnecessary invasive investigations. We present the case of a 3-y-old boy with phenotypic and laboratory findings of RS but negative genetic test results, whose diagnosis was confirmed by hepatobiliary scintigraphy.

Keywords: Rotor syndrome; cholescintigraphy; hepatobiliary scintigraphy.
