The Association of Choledochal Cyst and Pancreatitis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: The Journal of Pediatric Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Choledochal cysts are relatively rare congenital anomalies which are characterized by dilatation of the extra-and/or intra-hepatic bile ducts. Pancreatic involvement before choledochal cyst operation might be a risk factor for postoperative pancreatitis. In this case report, we present a patient who had pancreatic enzyme elevation before choledochal cyst operation and who developed acute pancreatitis after surgery.
