Abstract
Choledochal cysts are rare congenital malformations with an incidence of approximately 1:100.000–1:150.000 in Western countries and high geographical variations with a reported incidence of 1:1.000 in Asian populations [1]. Diagnosis can be made during episodes with abdominal symptoms or as an incidental finding during abdominal ultrasound, and few reports on antenatal detections are available [2]. Diagnostics include laboratory controls of inflammatory and cholestasis parameters as well as sonography, CT scan, hepatobiliary scintigraphy with Technetium 99 (HIDA), MRCP, or ERCP [1]. In our institution abdominal ultrasound is the only essential imaging. MRCPs are included in our diagnostic protocols in unclear cases, and ERCP and potential stenting are mainly restricted to patients with acute obstruction [3].
