[Congenital cyst of the common bile duct. Surgical treatment with total excision of the cyst].
Congenital choledochal cyst (CChC) has a very low frequency in our population; it is more frequent among females and its pattern of inheritance is multifactorial. The frequency of CChC in our population was 1 per 20,000 to 1 per 30,000 hospitalized patients in the pediatrics department of the Hospital Juarez and Hospital Infantil de Tacubaya, respectively. Four new cases of CChC are reported, two school children and two teenagers. Pre-operative diagnosis was accomplished clinically, which is the most precise non-invasive method. The most effective actual diagnostic methods include ultrasonography, CAT scan, and basic laboratory data, which can corroborate the clinical diagnosis of CChC with 100% certainty. The surgical treatment of CChC is controversial, but the surgical procedures of choice are choledochocystojejunostomy with total cyst removal, Roux's Y, and cholecystectomy. One case was treated with latero-terminal choledochocystojejunostomy and 3 cases with total removal of the cyst. The results were excellent.
