Computed tomography of choledochocele.

M Pollack, A Shirkhoda, C Charnsangavej

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |March 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    This case report details a rare choledochocele diagnosis, incidentally finding a large choledochal cyst. Imaging like CT and ERCP aided in identifying this cystic mass within the bile duct.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Choledochocele, a rare congenital anomaly, involves cystic dilatation of the terminal choledochus.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and preventing complications.

    Observation:

    • A single case presented with symptoms necessitating investigation.
    • Diagnostic imaging modalities including computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were employed.
    • Surgical exploration revealed a choledochocele and an unexpected large choledochal cyst in the proximal common bile duct.

    Findings:

    • CT demonstrated a cystic mass adjacent to the distal common bile duct, indenting the duodenum.
    • ERCP confirmed the choledochocele and visualized the associated choledochal cyst.
    • Surgical findings corroborated the imaging diagnoses, identifying both choledochocele and a proximal choledochal cyst.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of comprehensive imaging in diagnosing biliary anomalies.
    • CT is effective in identifying choledochocele by visualizing the characteristic cystic mass.
    • Co-occurrence of choledochocele and choledochal cysts necessitates careful surgical planning.
