    Diagnosing rare choledochal cysts requires high suspicion. Ultrasound and ERCP are effective diagnostic tools, with ultrasound suitable for initial imaging and ERCP for complementary diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Choledochal cysts are rare congenital biliary anomalies.
    • Their presentation is often nonspecific, necessitating a high index of suspicion for diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of real-time ultrasound (US) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for choledochal cysts.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 11 patients diagnosed with choledochal cysts.
    • Analysis of diagnostic accuracy using real-time US and ERCP.

    Main Results:

    • The study included 11 patients with choledochal cysts.
    • Real-time US correctly identified 9 cases.

  • ERCP provided a correct diagnosis in 10 cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Real-time US is a valuable initial imaging modality for suspected choledochal cysts.
    • ERCP serves as a complementary diagnostic tool, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
