Sumario:KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: ERCP is a safe and effective method for managing biliary obstruction in children. A case report illustrates successful removal of a bile duct stone in a 5‐year‐old child using ERCP. Pediatric ERCP is a viable option for treating biliary diseases in well‐equipped centers, alongside other approaches. ABSTRACT: We describe a 5‐year‐old child with extrahepatic biliary stone who successfully underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for stone removal. He suffered from persistent colicky abdominal pain accompanied by fever that confirmed biliary stone. ERCP along with other methods, can be considered a safe procedure for managing BD in children.
