Abstract:
Cystic dilatation is a rare disease of extra- or intra-hepatic bile ducts. According to the literature it is an disorder accompanying other diseases rather than an independent diagnosis. In the case of smaller dimensions it is often found by coincidence because of its asymptomatic course of development. Mostly it manifests itself through abdominal pain or icterus. The authors show a case report of 14-months old patient with the finding of a cyst in the right ductus hepaticus with extraordinary dimensions (Fig. 2, Ref. 11). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk
