Role of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography in the Diagnosis of Cystic Transformation Hepaticocholedoch and Possible Postoperative Complications (Clinical Case)

Abstract

The article presents a description of a clinical case in a 7-year old child suffering occasional abdominal pain. An examination (3D magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography) revealed a choledoch duct cyst type Iс. Surgical correction of congenital malformation of bile ducts was performed due to periodic attacks of pain, presence of concretions in the ducts, the possibility of malignification in the future and the development of possible complications. The clinical example demonstrates the high efficiency of MRCP for assessing anatomical and topographic relationships and concomitant structural anomalies that allow planning the tactics of surgical treatment. MRCP is important to use in the postoperative period to assess possible complications.
