A 2-month-old baby with severe jaundice also has dark-colored urine (deep yellow) and white clay-colored stool. Which of the following disorders might be suspected?: (A) Esophageal stenosis, (B) Annular pancreas, (C) Hyperophic pyloric stenosis, (D) Extrahepatic biliary atresia
Answer is D. Following symptoms suggest obstructive jaundice i.e extra hepatic biliary atresia , which results from failure of the bile ducts to recanalize during development. This prevents bile from entering the duodenum.
