Choledochal Cyst
Home » Choledochal Cyst
What is a Choledochal Cyst?
A Choledochal Cyst is a congenital dilation (ballooning) of the bile ducts, which carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. These cysts can involve:
The common bile duct
The intrahepatic (inside the liver) bile ducts
Or both
Over time, this abnormal dilation can lead to bile stasis, infections, liver damage, and even increase the risk of bile duct cancer if left untreated.
Symptoms of Choledochal Cyst
Symptoms can appear in infancy, childhood, or even later in life:
Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes)
Abdominal pain (especially in the upper right side)
Nausea or vomiting
Pale or clay-colored stools
Dark urine
Abdominal lump or fullness
Recurrent cholangitis (bile duct infection) or pancreatitis
Some cases are detected prenatally during a routine fetal ultrasound.
Diagnosis and Treatment in Ghaziabad
Diagnostic tools include:
Ultrasound – initial screening
MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography) – to visualize bile duct anatomy
CT scan for surgical planning
Liver function tests
Treatment:
Surgical excision of the cyst is the standard of care
Followed by a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy, where a section of the intestine is connected to the bile ducts to allow proper bile drainage
Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery is available at our center for quicker recovery
Early surgery helps prevent complications such as liver damage, infections, and malignancy.
