Abstract
Choledochal Cysts (CC) is a rare entity with incidence of 1:10,000 - 1:150,000 live births and 4 times more common in females. CC in childhood frequently categorized into an “infantile” group (patients less than one year old) and “classical pediatric” (CP) group (age more than one year but less than 18). Infantile group differ markedly from classical pediatric group in their clinical presentation and pathological anatomy. Todani et al [1] have characterized the infantile CDCs as follows: (1) Cystic choledochal dilatation, (2) Abdominal mass with jaundice and acholic stools, (3) No symptomatic association with acute pancreatitis and (4) A low amylase level in bile.
