Traumatic rupture of a choledochal cyst masking as a duodenal hematoma

Abstract: Choledochal cysts are rare, congenital malformations of the intra and/or extrahepatic biliary tree. We describe a case in which a patient was transferred to our hospital with a reported duodenal hematoma. The patient ultimately required exploration when his condition deteriorated. Laparotomy resulted in the discovery and successful treatment of a ruptured type IV-A choledochal cyst.

“…L'étiopathogénie reste imprécise, l'hypothèse la plus communément admise étant que le KCC est le résultat d'une anomalie de la jonction pancréatico-biliaire. Sa prévalence est variable, estimée de 1/13 000-15 000 à 1/100 000-200 000 naissances vivantes [2,3], plus élevée dans les pays asiatiques, en particulier au Japon où elle est estimée à 1/1000 naissances vivantes [4]. Bien que notre observation ait concerné un jeune garçon d'origine asiatique, la fréquence du KCC est plus grande chez les filles (sexratio = 0,25) [3].…”
