Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show the different diagnostic procedures and treatment, in patients diagnosed with choledochal cysts. Choledochal cysts are congenital anomalies of the bile ducts and include cystic dilatation of the extrahepatic and intrahepatic biliary ducts or both. The study shows six patients, diagnosed as having type Ic choledochal cysts, according to the Todani classification. Diagnosis was established by clinical and radiographic findings including: ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and intraoperative cholangiography (IOC). All patients underwent surgical treatment with a total cyst excision, cholecystectomy and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy, followed by a good and uneventful recovery. Total cyst excision is recommended for reducing cyst related complications and risk of cholangiocarcinoma. Also, a long term review, is necessary due to recurrent cholangitis or pancreatitis, that may occur in patients with these cystic lesions. The epidemiology, diagnosis, surgical treatment, and risk of cancer in choledochal cysts were reviewed according to relevant published literature.
