Insights
Cystic duct choledochal cysts are rare biliary tree conditions. Improved imaging aids preoperative diagnosis, crucial for differentiating these from other lesions in pediatric patients.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Biliary tract diseases
Background:
- Choledochal cysts of the cystic duct are uncommon biliary anomalies.
- They can occur in isolation or with other biliary tree segments.
- Historically diagnosed intraoperatively, but improved imaging allows for preoperative detection.
Abstract:
Choledochal cyst of the cystic duct is an uncommon entity which may occur as isolated disease or may be associated with choledochal cyst of the other part of the biliary tree. In most of the reported series it was diagnosed at time of operation but now days to better investigation modality it can be diagnosed preoperatively if the index of suspicion is high. We are presenting a series of such case in pediatric age group (which includes an infant) where the diagnosis was made during operation with a light on means and ways for suspecting this entity before operation and how to differentiate other lesion with this entity with relevant review of literature.
