Alagille syndrome

A rare syndrome variably characterized by chronic cholestasis due to paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts, peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis, vertebrae segmentation anomalies, characteristic facies, posterior embryotoxon/anterior segment abnormalities, pigmentary retinopathy, and dysplastic kidneys.

Posterior embryotoxon

A posterior embryotoxon is the presence of a prominent and anteriorly displaced line of Schwalbe.

An Atypical Presentation of Alagille Syndrome.
Wu KY, Treece AL, Russo PA, Wen JW.
Pediatr Dev Pathol. 2018;21(1):79-83.
This case highlights that there may be both atypical clinical and pathologic findings in mutation-proven Alagille syndrome and that the diagnosis of Alagille syndrome should be considered in cases of ongoing bile duct damage in the setting of early-onset jaundice, cholestasis, hepatosplenomegaly, posterior embryotoxon in the eyes, and butterfly vertebrae.

We report a rare case of a 10 year old girl diagnosed as having Alagille syndrome on the basis of a characteristic face, posterior embryotoxon, cholestasis, peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis and the absence of interlobular bile ducts in a liver biopsy at 1.5 years of age.

The Alagille syndrome (arteriohepatic dysplasia) is a well-recognized multiple malformation syndrome consisting of a paucity of intrahepatic bile bile ducts, peripheral pulmonary artery hypoplasia with variable cardiac abnormalities, cholestatic facies, butterfly-like vertebral arch defects, and variable ocular anomalies, most commonly posterior embryotoxon and pigmentary retinopathy.

In the setting of neonatal cholestasis, the findings of microcornea, posterior embryotoxon, mosaic iris stromal hypoplasia, regional peripapillary depigmentation, congenital macular dystrophy, and anomalous optic discs should suggest the diagnosis of Alagille syndrome.
