Abstract

Crigler-Najjar syndrome is a rare, inherited disease that causes unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Liver transplantation is a definitive treatment option for Crigler-Najjar syndrome. Two patients with Crigler-Najjar syndrome who received liver transplantation are presented in this case report. The first patient who was misdiagnosed with Gilbert’s syndrome was a 15-year-old male. He had speech and gait disturbances that partially recovered after liver transplantation. The second patient was a 22-year-old male. He developed liver fibrosis although he had a mild clinical form of the disease. Liver transplantation was successfully performed for both of these patients without significant morbidity.
