Özet
Although choledochal cyst with complete distal obstruction and biliary atresia type I cyst have similar clinical findings, they are different entities and differ in prognosis. Differential diagnosis may be possible with the aid of ultrasonography, operative cholangiography and histopathological examinations of liver specimens. In this report, a one-month-old girl with a cystic mass of 40x80 mm in the porta hepatis and without evidence of intrahepatic bile duct dilatation, is presented. At laparotomy, no connection of the cyst with the pancreatic duct or duodenum was found. Operative cholangiogram did not show any flow of contrast into the duodenum and liver. Complete excision of the cyst and Roux-en-Y hepatico-jejunostomy were performed successfully. This case was presented because it is rare among biliary atresias and its differential diagnosis from choledochal cyst is important.
