PowerPoint presentation on Choledochal Cysts, also known as biliary cyst, uploaded by Dr. Vaskar Humagain, first presented in 31st December, 2013. This presentation contains all the information about Choledochal Cysts, the original and revised Todani classification of choledochal cysts, pathogenesis, other associated congenital anomalies, clinical features in infant and adult, management of choledochal cysts. Comments are highly welcome :)
2. Choledochal cysts are focal or diffuse dilatations of the biliary tree
Most commonly present in childhood but increasingly being
recognized in adults.
represent significant clinical challenges where proper evaluation
and management are paramount to prevent serious clinical
sequelae.
3. incidence of choledochal cysts varies significantly throughout the
world.
In Asia, incidence is as high as 1 in 1000 population with 50% cases
representing from Japan
In Western Countries, choledochal cysts occur less frequently with
reported cases ranging from 1:13,000 to 1:150,000 population.
4. Occur more commonly in females with a M:F ratio of 1:3-4
Classically present in childhood, but recent series report as
many as 25% of cases presenting in adults.
5. Proper management of choledochal cysts requires consideration of their
classification.
Original Classification by Alonso-Lej and associates exclusively involved the
extrahepatic duct
The classification was revised by Dr. Todani and colleagues in 1977 to include
intrahepatic cystic anomalies
6. Type I (50-85%): They are characterized by cystic or fusiform dilation
of the common bile duct.
Type IA is defined by cystic dilation of the entire extrahepatic biliary
tree,
Type IB is defined by focal, segmental (often distal) dilation of the
extrahepatic bile duct.
Type IC is defined by smooth, fusiform (as opposed to cystic) dilation
of the entire extrahepatic bile duct.
9. Type II ( 2%): true diverticula of the extrahepatic bile duct and
communicate with the bile duct through a narrow stalk.
Type III ( 5%) : Cystic dilatation of the intraduodenal portion of the
extra hepatic common bile duct; also known as a choledochocele
Type IV (30-40%): Involve multiple cysts of the intrahepatic and
extrahepatic biliary tree; IV A > IV B
Type V: Caroli’s Disease
14. Cause not currently known. Most cysts are congenital in nature.
It is unclear whether cases of choledochal cysts diagnosed in adults
are acquired or late manifestations of congenital cysts.
There may be multiple mechanisms involved in the creation of biliary
cysts
The high incidence of biliary cysts in Asia suggests a role for either
genetic or environmental factors.
15. Congenital weakness in the bile duct wall
Abnormal biliary epithelial proliferation before bile duct cannulation is
complete
Bile duct obstruction or distension in the prenatal or neonatal periods
Fetal viral infection
Pancreaticobiliary maljunction
16. Pancreaticobiliary maljunction is defined as an extramural junction
of the pancreatic and biliary ducts in the duodenum beyond the
intramural sphincter function
characterized by a long common channel (typically over 2 cm)
Increased reflux of pancreatic juice into the biliary tree -- >
18. Children: thick and dense fibrotic cyst wall with evidence of acute
and chronic inflammation.
Adult: common findings are inflammation, erosions, sparseness of
mucin glands, and metaplasia
Type III cysts are most often lined by duodenal mucosa, although
they sometimes are lined by bile duct epithelium.
19. Classic triad : pain, jaundice, and abdominal mass. ( ~ 10%)
Infants commonly present with elevated conjugated bilirubin
(80%), failure to thrive, or an abdominal mass (30%).
In patients older than 2 years of age, abdominal pain is the most
common presenting symptom.
Intermittent jaundice and recurrent cholangitis are also
common, especially in patients with a type III cyst.
20. U/S abdomen : to detect the presence
CT scan – more appropriate in adults.
MRCP
Cholangiography: gold standard , PTC or ERC in adults and
intraoperative cholangiography in small children
Liver function tests
24. Type I: excision of the cyst with its mucosa and reconstruction by
Roux-en-Y hepatico-jejunostomy
Type II: excision of the diverticulum and suturing of the CBD wall
Type III: endoscopic sphincterotomy is done.
Type IV: Extrahepatic biliary resection, cholecystectomy, and biliary
reconstruction
Type V: Liver transplantation, hepatectomy
25. Pancreatitis
Suppurative cholangitis
Gallstone and CBD stone formation
Rupture of cyst
Cholangio carcinoma in CBD

A 19-year-old Russian woman (height, 1.69 m; weight, 54 kg) with
non-specific upper abdominal pain presented to a local hospital for
evaluation. She complained of recurrent pain for weeks. Clinical
examination revealed neither jaundice nor a palpable abdominal
mass. The clinical laboratory data were normal.

Ultrasonography revealed a hypoechogenic, nearly
spheric, homogenous formation with a smooth contour in direct
contact with the underside of the liver and without any
intermediate layer. The finding was most compatible with a large
hepatic cyst.

Computer tomography showed a clearly
limited, hypodense, homogenous structure with a transverse
diameter of 11 cm in the immediate vicinity of the liver, anterior
to the right kidney, and posterior to the gall bladder

Cystic echinococcosis was excluded serologically.
The larger structure was interpreted as a congenital hepatic cyst
due to the direct contact to segment 5 of the liver.
The smaller structure was judged as an independent hepatic cyst
because it resembled the large cyst

laparoscopic fenestration of the large cyst was done
the cyst was approached via the inferior border.
A puncture was performed, which resulted in the evacuation of
more than 100 ml of bile.
Then, the cyst was opened by a 4 × 3 cm incision.
Laparoscopic evaluation of the inner cyst revealed two bile ducts

Bilirubin increased to 6.21 mg/dl and the patient developed
jaundice on second POD
Due to these ambiguous findings, the patient was transferred to
our university hospital on the third postoperative day. Computer
tomography showed incipient pancreatitis. After re-evaluation of
the original computer tomography, a large choledochal cyst
involving the distal part of the common bile duct was recognized.
The patient underwent repeat surgery on the fourth day after the
original surgery, and a large choledochal cyst, Todani type 1A, with
a diameter of 8–10 cm was found

This case report highlights the difficulties involved in making a
correct diagnosis and the operative treatment for a choledochal
cyst.

VOLUME 140, ISSUE 5, NOVEMBER 1980, PAGES 653–657
Five of the author's cases and 1,428 cases from Japan's literature
are discussed. Half of the patients were infants. The ratio of men
to women was 1 to 3. One hundred fifty-one patients had
malformation of the pancreaticobiliary system, which is said to be
a cause of congenital choledochal cyst. All of the patients have
been followed up. Excision of the cyst is the best procedure for
preventing ascending cholangitis and cystic cancer. Roux-Y
hepaticojejunostomy is also effective for reconstruction of the bile
duct because it rarely causes ascending cholangitis.

recurrent cholangitis, biliary stones, secondary biliary cirrhosis, or malignancy.
There have been a few case reports of choledochal cysts occurring within families
also known as Caroli'sdisease.Later in 2003,Todani’s classification was revised to reflect the presence or absence of pancreaticobiliary maljunction.5 This further revision has yet to be broadly used.
Type 1A associated with an APBJ. no dilation of the intrahepatic ducts. The cystic duct and gallbladder arise from the dilated common bile duct. Type 1C - Typically, the dilation extends from the pancreatobiliary junction to the intrahepatic biliary tree. Type IC cysts are associated with an APBJ.
Type II ( 2%): true diverticula of the extrahepatic bile duct and communicate with the bile duct through a narrow stalk.Type II: Located proximal to the duodenum.
Type II: Located proximal to the duodenum. Type III : 5 subtypes . type IVA (both intrahepatic and extrahepatic cysts) and IVB (multiple extrahepatic cysts without intrahepatic involvement); type IVA is the second most common type of biliary cyst (30–40%). Type V: Isolated intrahepatic biliary cystic disease, associated with periportal fibrosis or cirrhosis; can be multilobar or confined to a single lobe
Type III ( 5%) : Cystic dilatation of the intraduodenal portion of the extra hepatic common bile duct; also known as a choledochocele
type IVA (both intrahepatic and extrahepatic cysts)
IVB (multiple extrahepatic cysts without intrahepatic involvement
Type V: Isolated intrahepatic biliary cystic disease, associated with periportal fibrosis or cirrhosis; can be multilobar or confined to a single lobe
And several theories have been proposed.
Increased reflux of pancreatic juice into the biliary tree -- > inflammation, activation of proteolytic enzymes, theoretical biliary epithelial damage, alterations in bile composition, and ductal distension. Elevated Spincter of Oddi pressures have also been documented.Cholangiocarcinoma as well as Ca Gall Bladder
Hemifacialmicrosomia with extracraniofacial anomalies - OMENS Plus Syndrome.
choledochal cysts have variable microscopic features, with appearance ranging from normal bile duct mucosa to carcinoma.
This triad is found in only a minority of children at the time of presentation.Mass is to the right and above the umbilicus, smooth, not moving with respiration, not mobile and resonant in 30% of the cases. An abdominal mass becomes less common with increasing age and is rarely appreciated in adults.
Patients with biliary obstruction, either acutely or chronically, may also have biliary dilatation that can mimic a type I cyst. In contrast to a type I cyst, an obstructing lesion will often cause elevated alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin, as well as improvement in biliary dilatation after appropriate treatment. CT: hepatobiliary and pancreatic anatomy, with evaluation for possible biliary malignancy, metastatic disease, and vascular encasement. Cholangiography can demonstrate areas of cystic dilatation, the presence of stones, and excludes complete obstruction of the bile duct (Fig 34–4). It is also effective in demonstrating the presence of pancreaticobiliarymaljunction.
Pancreatitis, bile duct or gallbladder malignancy
Malignacny – radical surgery and chemotherapy
Upper panel: A large cyst,11 cm in diameter, was considered to represent a common hepatic cyst because it was in direct contact with the liver.
The dilated distal common bile duct was also misinterpreted as a second hepatic cyst.
Intraoperative situs: The choledochal cyst was mobilized and fixed with holding sutures. Clips are seen in the cyst, which closed the right and left hepatic ducts.
esected specimen: The gallbladder (left) and the deflated bile duct cyst were removed (right).
