Abstract
|
|
|
Congenital dilatation of the common bile duct is an uncommon condition. The location, degree, and type of dilatation vary.
It is generally agreed that this condition is congenital in origin. Of numerous theories . That have been proposed to explain these anomalies, most favor that of Yotsuyanagi, according to whom there is an unequal proliferation of the epithelial -cells of the primitive choledochus during the embryonic stage when this structure is a solid cord. This proliferation is more prominent in the upper segment than in the lower segment. When recanalization occurs a later stage, the upper segment is abnormally wide with a relatively narrow distal end.
This report is concerned with our experience of a patient with choledochal cyst which was treated with choledochoduodenostomy, and with brief review of the literature.
