Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Recurrent abdominal pain is a common pediatric complaint.
  • Choledochal cysts are rare congenital biliary tract malformations.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old girl presented with persistent, recurrent abdominal pain.
  • Initial ultrasonography revealed a cystic formation associated with a dilated bile duct.

Findings:

  • Oral cholecystography confirmed a voluminous choledochal cyst.
  • Surgical intervention included cyst excision and hepatico-jejunostomy for biliary drainage.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for choledochal cysts.
  • This case highlights the importance of imaging in diagnosing pediatric abdominal pain.
  • Successful surgical outcomes can be achieved with appropriate biliary reconstruction.
