“…In 1959, Alonso-Lej [5] proposed the first classification of these anomalies. Currently, the most widely used classification is that of Todani [6], which groups these malformations into five types according to their locations, their extent, and the type of dilation of the bile ducts.…”

Congenital cystic dilatations of the bile duct are rare malformations representing 1 per 13,000 births with a female predominance. Diagnosis of this pathology is based on radiological imaging especially radiological investigations conducted on an ultrasound coupled with Computed tomography (CT) scan and especially a bili-MRI which allows the analysis of the bile duct malformations and the anomalies of the pancreaticobiliary junction. We will discuss in this clinical case the various radiological aspects of cystic dilatations of the biliary duct.

“…They are far more common in Japan and Asia than in the west. The optimal treatment entails surgical excision to reduce risk of cholangiocarcinoma which develops in 9%-28% of the cases [6][7][8] . Todani T et al have classified CCs into six types.…”

“…Todani T et al have classified CCs into six types. The various types include: Type Ia-dilatation of extrahepatic duct; Type Ib-discrete segmental dilation of extrahepatic duct; Type Ic-fusiform dilation of entire choledochus; Type II diverticula of choledochus; Type III cyst/choledochocele -distal dilation of choledochus within duodenal wall; Type IVa-combined intrahepatic and extrahepatic duct cysts; Type IVb -multiple extrahepatic bile duct cysts and Type V/Caroli's disease-multiple intrahepatic bile duct cysts [8] . Type I CC is the most common type (80%-90%) and our patient had the same type of CC.…”

“…Though we did not perform in our case, it would have been even more useful if a magnetic resonance cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP) was performed, in order to exactly delineate the anomalous anatomy of the hepatobiliary tract, thus enabling better surgical planning, patient's preparation and counseling for definitive surgery for the CC. More invasive diagnostic techniques include percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) [6][7][8][9] .…”

Situs inversus totalis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by transposition of the intra-abdominal as well as the intrathoracic viscera. We present the case of a 45-year-old Pakistani lady who had choledochal cyst with cholelithiasis in tandem with situs inversus totalis. We were faced with dilemmas both diagnostic and management during the course of her care. We share our experience with emphasis on both ultrasonologist as well as surgical team members to be mindful of the possibility of an underlying choledochal cyst when they are dealing with symptomatic gall stone disease in such patients. This will ensure appropriate surgical planning and avert the avoidable dilemmas intra-operatively.

“…Later, it was reported that gallbladder cancer frequently complicated congenital biliary dilatation associated with pancreaticobiliary maljunction [2][3][4][5]. According to a questionnaire-based survey conducted by Aoki et al [6], the frequency of pancreaticobiliary maljunction in operated patients with gallbladder cancer was 10.4% and, conversely, that of gallbladder cancer in patients with pancreaticobiliary maljunction was 16.3%, indicating the involvement of pancreaticobiliary maljunction as a factor behind gallbladder.…”
