choledochal cyst/nausea

Choledochocele belongs to type III biliary cysts in Todani's classification and are considered the least frequent cysts in this class. The usual definition of choledochocele is that of a cystic expansion of the distal intramural portion of the bile duct that protrudes into the duodenal lumen.

Choledochocele is the least common form of cystic dilatation of the biliary tree. Whether this condition is a congenital abnormality or the result of inflammation at the papilla of Vater is not clear. In most cases, the clinical presentation is that of intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, and

Bile duct cyst is a biliary tract disease that is less common among adults compared to children, and it is accepted to have a congenital entity. The classical findings constitute a triad including abdominal pain, jaundice and abdominal mass. However, infective findings also occur in case of

Choledochal cysts are rare developmental malformations of the biliary tree. Percutaneous and endoscopic ultrasound, as well as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, are recommended diagnostic tools. Magnetic resonance cholangiography may also contribute to the workup and treatment plan of

BACKGROUND Choledochal cyst is a rare congenital malformation of the extrahepatic bile ducts. Its incidence varies among different populations, but it is highest in North East Asia. It is most frequent in childhood, and very rare in adults. METHODS A 7-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital with

A 17-year-old adolescent girl from El Salvador presented to the emergency room (ER) with severe abdominal pain associated with one episode of nausea and vomiting. The pain that started 5 days earlier was sharp in nature and epigastric in location with radiation to back and was relieved by half a

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

Eighty-four patients with choledochocele collected from the world literature and one personal observation are reviewed. The main issues regarding clinical presentation, diagnostic work-up, and the treatment of this uncommon lesion are discussed. Abdominal pain was the most common clinical feature

Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) usually is associated with choledochal cyst. PBM without dilatation of the common bile duct is rare in infants and children. This rare type of the anomaly may lead to the development of malignancy of the bile duct in later life. The authors report the clinical

BACKGROUND Choledochal cyst is a congenital dilatation of the biliary tree. It may affect only the extrahepatic bile duct (type I, II and III), intrahepatic (type V) or both (type IVa). Vater first described choledochal cyst in 1723. Open excision was the standard procedure made a great impact in

Hepatobiliary cystadenoma complication with congenital choledochal cyst is extremely rare and has never been reported in literatures so far.The aim of the study was to investigate the disease arrangements by analyzing the case and performing a systematic review of the literature.This case report

Cystic lymphangioma of the pancreas is an extremely rare benign tumor of lymphatic origin. We report on a 68-year-old woman who had experienced epigastric abdominal distension and nausea for over 1 year. Sonography revealed a cystic-solid mixed mass in the head of pancreas, with intrahepatic and

Choledochal cyst is a rare and often benign congenital cystic dilation throughout the biliary tree. Due to the benign nature of choledochal cyst among early-diagnosed patients, the clinical assumption and diagnosis seem to be of utmost significance. Therefore, we sought to assess different clinical

OBJECTIVE Choledochal cyst of the bile duct is characterized by cystic dilatation of the intra- or extrahepatic bile ducts. It is a relatively uncommon disease and there is still much controversy regarding its etiology as being congenital or acquired. METHODS The medical records of 60 patients who
