Choledochal cyst associated with duodenal obstruction.
Journal of Pediatric Surgery 2000 August
The association between congenital duodenal obstruction and concomitant choledochal cyst has not been reported, although duodenal obstruction is known to be associated with many other anomalies. The authors describe 2 patients with choledochal cyst with duodenal obstruction. In 1 patient, a diverticulum type of choledochal cyst was found within an annular pancreas. Cyst excision, choledochojejunostomy, and side-to-side duodeno-duodenostomy were performed. The other patient showed separated duodenal atresia and other multiple anomalies including imperforate anus. A choledochal cyst was noted at the time of duodeno-duodenostomy and sigmoid colostomy. Cyst-enterostomy was performed at the age of 8 months, but the patient died of multiple anomalies. Intraoperative cholangiography indicated an anomalous pancreatobiliary ductal junction (APBDJ). In both patients the bile in the cyst contained high levels of amylase, suggesting the presence of an APBDJ. An APBDJ is considered to play an etiologic role in the development of the choledochal cysts associated with duodenal obstruction.
