Choledochal cyst is an abnormality of the biliary ducts, characterized by a dilatation of a portion of the biliary ductal system (most commonly a portion or the whole of the extrahepatic bile duct system) that presents usually at ultrasonography as a cystic mass in the right upper quadrant abdomen. Ultrasonographic prenatal diagnosis may be challenging since the detection of any intraabdominal cyst raises the issue of differential diagnosis considering its nature as well as the organ of origin. In this paper, we report our experience with a case of a choledochal cyst strongly suspected during routine midtrimester ultrasound scan, when a round liquid mass was found in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen; the cyst was independent of the other intra-abdominal organs but a connection was observed between the latter cyst and dilated bile ducts. The diagnosis was confirmed at birth and the infant underwent successful surgical correction of the anomaly. We review the current literature as well, discussing the current open challenges of diagnosing and managing these cases.

In this report, we present the antenatal two- and three-dimensional sonographic findings from a fetus with choledochal cyst as well as confirmatory postnatal MRI. A delayed diagnosis of choledochal cyst is common, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Visualizing bile ducts entering a right upper quadrant cyst is pathognomonic, and early diagnosis can facilitate definitive treatment with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

ÖZETKoledok kistleri karın içinde sağ üst kadran kistik kitlesi olarak görülen biliyer kanalın bir anomalisidir. Prenatal tanılı koledok kistleri ultrasonografi ekipmanlarındaki gelişmeler sonucunda rutin fetal anomali taramalarında artan sıklıkta görülmektedir. Koledok kistlerinin prenatal tanısıdaha az komplikasyonlu erken cerrahi onarıma yol açmıştır. Biz burada prenatal tanılı iki koledok kistini sunarak bu hastalığın tedavisini tartıştık. ABSTRACTCholedochalcyst is one of the intra-abdominal abnormalities of the biliary ducts that present as a cystic mass in the right upper quadrant abdomen. Prenatal diagnosis of fetal choledochal cysts has become more frequent with the improvement of the ultrasound equipment as well as the increased use of routine fetal anomaly scan. Prenatal diagnosis of choledochal cysts is essential since this can lead to earlier surgical repair resulting in less complications. We report two choledochal cysts with prenatal diagnosis and discuss treatment of this disease.
