Two infants who had obstructive jaundice due to congenital stenosis of the ampulla of Vater improved dramatically with sphincteroplasty. In one, the jaundice was complicated by hepatocellular dysfunction and mild biliary cirrhosis. Only a few cases of such an anomaly have been reported, mostly with different modes of clinical presentation.
