[Choledochal cyst associated with dominant dorsal duct syndrome: report of two cases].
Two cases with choledochal cysts associated with dominant dorsal ducts were reported. The first patient, a male infant, presented with abdominal distention and vomiting for two days at the age of four months. The second patient, nine month-old male infant, presented with fever for one day, irritability, post-prandial vomiting and preference for lying in a left lateral decubitus position. Both cases were operated under the impression of choledochal cysts, and were found by intraoperative cholangiopancreatography to have dominant dorsal ducts. These two cases and the literature concerning choledochal cyst associated with dominant dorsal duct are reviewed.
