ERCP can be crucial in diagnosing and treating several conditions in children, including:
Biliary atresia: A condition where the bile ducts are abnormally narrow, blocked, or absent. Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas, which can cause severe abdominal pain. Choledocholithiasis: The presence of gallstones in the common bile duct. Biliary strictures: Narrowing of the bile ducts, which can obstruct the flow of bile. Congenital anomalies: Structural abnormalities in the biliary or pancreatic ducts.
