title: Endoscopic ultrasound exploration of a choledochal cyst.
abstract: A 41-year-old man presented with recurrent episodes of pancreatitis in association with a choledochal cyst. Endoscopic ultrasound contributed in making the diagnosis of choledochal cyst. It also revealed the presence of a long common channel, an anomaly involved in the genesis of this congenital malformation of the biliary tree.
