DESCRIPTION
A simple ppt describing Choledochal Cyst
Citation preview
CHOLEDOCHAL CYST
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Less than 1 in 1,00,000 Common in Asian descent Common in women 8:1
PATHOGENESIS
Presence of anomalous pancreatic biliary junction(APBJ) it is seen in 90% choledochal cysts
In APBJ pancreatic duct and biliary duct fuse to form common channel prior to opening in duodenal wall
Pancreatic secretions reflux into bile duct which inflame and damage the biliary tree leading to cystic degeneration
CLASSIFICATION Originally classified by Alonso – Lej Latter modified by Todani
Type I – extra hepatic fusiform dilatation most common 60%
Type II - sacular diverticulum of common bile duct seen in 5%
Type III- cystic dilatation of intramural bile duct with in walls of duodenum
Type IVa - multiple cystic dilatations in both intra hepatic and extra hepatic
bile ducts Type IVb - multiple cysts limited to extra
hepatic biliary tree seen in 30%
Type V - multiple intra hepatic cysts only sometimes may be solitary also
known as Caroli disease
PRESENTATION
Jaundice Right upper quadrant pain Rarely palpable mass Other symptoms like nausea, pruritis,
weight loss, cirrhosis, cholangitis pancreatitis, hepatic fibrosis, malignancy are reported during presentation
Rarely rupture of cyst and bile peritonitis can also be presented
INVESTIGATIONS
Usually diagnosed when imaging is done for non specific symptoms
Ultrasound – dilated cystic lesion which communicates with the bile duct and is separate from the gall bladder
CT scan – diagnosis is suspected MRCP – classification can also be done ERCP – distal bile duct can also be
analysised which is difficult in MRCP Liver function tests – identify cholestatis
jaundice secondary hepatic injury cirrhosis
COMPLICATIONS
Pancreatitis Supparative cholangitis Gall stone and CBD stone formation Rupture of cysts Cholangiocarcinoma – seen in 10% to
30% cases malignant cystic degeneration is common due to chronic mucosal irritation from refluxed pancreatic enzymes
TREATMENT
Resection of entire cyst and appropriate surgical reconstruction
Type I – complete surgical excision Cholecystectomy and Roux-En-Y Hepaticojejunostomy entire dilated part is removed
Type II – completely excised if APBJ is involved enteric diversion with Roux-En-Y Hepaticojejunostomy is done
Type III – transduodenal approach for transduodenal excision or sphincteroplasty in case of any duodenal or biliary obstruction
Type IV a – involving one lobe partial hepatectomy
Type IV b - extra hepatic cysts treatment as type I i.e complete surgical excision Cholecystectomy and Roux-En-Y Hepaticojejunostomy
Type V or Caroli’s disease – range from resection of liver if disease is unilobular to liver transplantation if disease is diffuse
