Abstract
During recent 6 and a half years, a successful ERCP was obtained in 32 of 44 attempts in 41 patients. In a few years of the beginning JF-B2 which is for adults was used, but the development of pediatric duodenofiberscopes such as FGS-PE and X-PJF significantly improved the success rate. Especially in recent 2 years, ERCP was done successfully in all including 1-month-old infant. In 3 patiants with NH 35, 72 and 79 days after birth was cholangiopancreatography shown and in 3 with CBA 46, 65 and 80 days after birth was only the pancreatic duct revealed. It is concluded that the differential diagnosis between CBA and NH can be made by ERCP.
