The reason of infantile common bile duct dilation?

summary

Choledochectasis is a common congenital biliary malformation, which was previously considered to be a lesion confined to the common bile duct, so it is called congenital choledochal cyst. This disease was first reported by Vater in 1723. In 1852, Douglas described its symptomatology and pathology in detail. Let's share my experience with you.

The reason of infantile common bile duct dilation?

There may be one or more lesions in the hepatobiliary system at the same time. This disease is characterized by intrahepatic bile duct dilatation and cholestasis, which lead to bile duct inflammation and stones. However, due to the atypical clinical symptoms, it can occur at any age, with recurrent right upper abdominal pain, fever and jaundice.

In the onset of liver swelling, after infection control, with the improvement of symptoms, the liver will often shrink faster. The liver function damage is not proportional to the clinical symptoms. Cholecystitis or liver abscess is often diagnosed at the initial stage of the disease. If there are congenital liver fibrosis or extrahepatic bile duct dilatation and other fibrocystic lesions, the symptoms are more complex, including cirrhosis, extrahepatic bile duct obstruction and urinary tract infection. Often can not make a diagnosis, often have to wait for surgical treatment to make a diagnosis.

It can be divided into four categories: congenital hepatic fibrosis, congenital intrahepatic bile duct dilatation, congenital choledochectasis and congenital hepatic cyst, collectively referred to as hepatic and biliary fibrocystic disease.
