A Rare Case of Type 1C Congenital Choledochal Cyst in Female Child: Clinical Presentation and Surgical Treatment
Abstract
Choledochal cysts are rare developmental anomalies involving intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary ducts whose complete excision is recommended to prevent chronic inflammatory and malignant changes. During embryonic development, the pancreatic duct and common bile duct join abnormally outside the duodenal wall, forming a long common channel. This allows pancreatic enzyme reflux into the bile duct. Enzymes cause chronic inflammation and weakening of the bile duct wall. The weakened duct progressively dilates → forming a choledochal cyst.
