choledochal cyst/fever

Choledochal cyst was diagnosed before operation in 14 out of 16 infants and children by means of a combination of diagnostic tests. Ultrasonic echogram showed a cystic mass in all 11 patients examined. The characteristic displacement of the duodenum was noted in 9 of 14 patients by contrast studies

Introduction: Choledochal cyst is a rare benign congenital dilation of the bile duct, which causes recurring disturbing symptoms without totally resection. Nonetheless, postoperative complications are still a common issue. A step up

Background: Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is becoming more popular because of the excellent performance in anastomosis and knot tying, especially in complex surgical procedures such as hepaticojejunostomy. As for operative time and

OBJECTIVE Hepatic changes due to choledochal cyst have not been given due emphasis in the published literature. In this study the gross and microscopic appearance of the liver in patients with choledochal cyst have been correlated with clinical features, liver function tests and postoperative

From January, 1983 to December, 1986, a total of 9 patients, ranging in age from 2 years and 4 months to 36 years, with choledochal cysts were treated. Symptoms were right upper quadrant pain (n = 9), ascending cholangitis (n = 7), and jaundice (n = 6). A right upper quadrant mass was palpable in 7

OBJECTIVE Choledochal cysts are congenital malformations of the pancreatico-biliary system. Some aspects of optimal surgical management of choledochal cysts remain controversial. The purpose of this paper is to present our series of 14 patients with choledochal cysts, analyzing surgical management

We report herein a rare case of choledochal cyst diagnosed at 14 weeks gestation and treated with percutaneous transhepatic drainage until postpartum. A 26-year-old primigravid woman at 14 weeks gestation presented with epigastric pain, slight fever, and nausea of 3 days duration. Abdominal

This report describes the surgical management of 2 children with fusiform choledochal cysts who had accessory hepatic ducts (AHD) identified during excisional surgery for fusiform choledochal cysts (CC). Two children presenting with a triad of recurrent jaundice, fever, and abdominal pain were

We report a case of bile duct stones in which piezoelectric extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) was highly effective for the clearance of stones. A 16-year-old girl, who had undergone excision of a choledochal cyst when she was 3 years old, presented a spiking fever and colic abdominal pain.

Choledochal cysts are rare congenital malformations of the biliary tract. Though most cysts are diagnosed incidentally, some present directly with complications. We report on the case of an 11-month-old girl admitted for abdominal pain, fever and vomiting. Ultrasonography revealed intraabdominal

A 47-day-old female infant presented with congenital inguinal hernia, seizure on the 2(nd) day of life, fever, progressive jaundice, acholic stools and distension of abdomen. She was suspected to have choledochal cyst with extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) and referred for an Hepatobiliary Tc-99m

Choledochal cysts rarely present with acute pancreatitis. We report a patient with type I choledochal cyst(s) who had concomitant acute frank hemorrhagic pancreatitis. A 14-year-old male noted with a history of recurrent abdominal pain, fever and jaundice. Ultrasonography (US) of abdomen at the

Choledochal cysts are uncommon congenital anomalies of the biliary tree. We report a 25-year-old female who presented with palpable abdominal lump, jaundice and fever. She was diagnosed with a huge, type IVA choledochal cyst with enormous asymmetric cystic dilatation of extrahepatic segment of left

Purpose: Perforation of choledochal cyst (CC) is a relatively rare clinical presentation in pediatric populations and difficult to predict preoperatively. We assess the clinical implications by comparing clinical parameters based on a
