A Choledochal Cyst in a Child Female

Abstract

Choledochal cysts are rare congenital anomalies. Diagnosis can be made by ultrasonography, CT-scan, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and MRCP. The recurrent cholangitis, pancreatitis and malignant diseases associated with choledochal cysts mandates early diagnosis and definitive surgical management. Surgeons currently agree that all patients require complete cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.
