title: The width of the common bile duct in childhood.
abstract: The maximum diameter of the common bile duct was measured on 85 normal intravenous cholangiograms carried out on children between the ages of 1--14 years. There was a close correlation between bile duct width and the patient's age, but a poor correlation with weight. The range of bile duct widths in each age group is tabulated as a guide to diagnosing biliary dilatation in childhood.
