Abstract
Congenital hepatic fibrosis is characterized by hepatic fibrosis, portal hypertension, and renal cystic disease. Typical presentation of congenital hepatic fibrosis is in the form of portal hypertension, in adolescents and young adults. We present an unusual case of neonatal cholestasis with rapid deterioration within first 4 months of life, who was diagnosed to have congenital hepatic fibrosis with polycystic kidney disease on autopsy.
