“…4–7 The best diagnostic clue is the presence of a right upper quadrant cyst communicating with biliary duct and the separate identification of the fetal gallbladder 8. Although MRI9, 10 or three‐dimensional US with multislice view11 may be helpful in prenatal diagnosis, we believe that two‐dimensional US is adequate in most cases, to demonstrate the connection between the gall bladder and the cyst, like in our case.…”

Choledochal cyst is one of the intra-abdominal abnormalities of the biliary ducts that present as a cystic mass in the right upper quadrant abdomen. Prenatal diagnosis has been achieved by the demonstration of a connection between a dilated common bile duct and a cystic lesion. In this report, we describe a pregnant woman in whom routine fetal anomaly scan strongly suggested a choledochal cyst at 29 weeks of gestation by demonstrating a round cystic mass in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, completely separated from the stomach, bowel loops, and gall bladder, and which showed a connection with the dilated common bile duct.

“…Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or threedimensional (3D) US with reconstructed planes may aid the prenatal diagnosis, we believe that a careful and precise twodimensional (2D) US should be encouraged, since it may be satisfactory enough, in most cases, to demonstrate the sign of the connection between the gall bladder and the cyst, like in our case [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Indeed, MRI as well as 3D technology, although can be very useful in many cases, especially those of unfavourable fetal position, are expensive tools, require expert operators and are not readily available in some clinical contexts.…”

Two-Dimensional Ultrasonographic Prenatal Diagnosis of Choledochal Cyst: Our Experience and Literature Review

Choledochal cyst is an abnormality of the biliary ducts, characterized by a dilatation of a portion of the biliary ductal system (most commonly a portion or the whole of the extrahepatic bile duct system) that presents usually at ultrasonography as a cystic mass in the right upper quadrant abdomen. Ultrasonographic prenatal diagnosis may be challenging since the detection of any intraabdominal cyst raises the issue of differential diagnosis considering its nature as well as the organ of origin. In this paper, we report our experience with a case of a choledochal cyst strongly suspected during routine midtrimester ultrasound scan, when a round liquid mass was found in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen; the cyst was independent of the other intra-abdominal organs but a connection was observed between the latter cyst and dilated bile ducts. The diagnosis was confirmed at birth and the infant underwent successful surgical correction of the anomaly. We review the current literature as well, discussing the current open challenges of diagnosing and managing these cases.
