Biliary atresia (BA) associated with choledochal cyst (CC) represents a distinct subtype. Early antenatal diagnosis is crucial, as type 3 BA with CC shows poorer outcomes compared to type 1.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Hepatology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Biliary atresia (BA) and choledochal cysts (CC) are congenital biliary tract malformations.
  • Current classification systems for BA may not fully encompass all presentations, particularly those diagnosed antenatally.
  • Investigating the association between BA and CC is essential for refining diagnostic and prognostic models.

Observation:

  • A case of antenatal diagnosis of CC associated with BA is presented.
  • A literature review identified 88 cases of BA associated with CC.
  • Antenatal diagnosis of BA with CC was associated with a low incidence of congenital anomalies.

Findings:

  • BA associated with CC predominantly presents as type 1 BA (common bile duct atresia).

  • Type 3 BA (porta hepatis atresia) in this cohort was linked to significantly poorer and earlier adverse outcomes compared to type 1.
  • Patients with type 3 BA were over five times more likely to experience poor outcomes.

    • Implications:

    • BA associated with CC may represent a unique subtype requiring tailored management.
    • Antenatal diagnosis supports classifying these cases within an embryonic BA spectrum.
    • Further research into genetic factors may refine BA classification and predict outcomes.
