Author ProfileAbstract
Choledochal cyst is a rare congenital dilatation of the common bile duct
usually symptomatic within the first year of life with rare presentation
in adulthood. Herein, we present a 17-year-old female with type 1A
choledochal cyst who was managed by surgical excision,
hepatico-jejunostomy and jejunojejunostomy who recovered uneventfully.
