| Summary: | Choledochal cysts are rare congenital anomalies characterized by dilatation of the bile ducts. The most frequent subtype of choledochal cyst is type I, which has fusiform dilatation of the common bile duct and poses significant challenges in diagnosis and management, particularly, in pediatric patients. We present a case report of a child diagnosed with a Type I choledochal cyst, detailing the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, surgical intervention, and postoperative outcome. Early recognition and appropriate surgical management are crucial for optimal outcomes in children with this rare entity. |
