Topics covered by AoH include alcoholic liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, biliary diseases, drug-induced liver injury, genetic liver diseases, NAFLD/NASH and viral hepatitis (HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV, HEV). Our journal seeks to publish articles on basic clinical care and translational research focused on preventing rather than treating the complications of end-stage liver disease.

Biliary atresia is a rare disease characterized by a biliary obstruction of unknown origin that presents in the neonatal period.1 We present the magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) from a 25 years old women who was treated in the neonatal period with Kasai operation. The MRC reveals a choledochal cyst and shows multiple saccular dilatation of both left and right hepatic ducts.
