The studied parameters featured clinical, biological, radiological, therapeutic and evolutionary data. Overall, ten patients, including eight girls and two boys, were selected.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two patients presented the classic triple-syndrome complex featuring an abdominal pain, an abdominal mass and jaundice. Most of the patients presented a symptomatology associating abdominal pain and vomiting. Biological cholestasis syndrome was present in six cases and biological cytolysis syndrome in five cases. The abdominal ultrasound-computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the diagnosis and helped to set the Todani classification with a predominance of Types 1 and 4. Surgical treatment by laparotomy consisted of total excision of the cyst followed by a Y-en-Roux hepatico-jejunal anastomosis in nine cases, whereas we performed a drainage of the cyst in one case. Two patients presented a morbidity of anastomotic suture release and evisceration and had a good outcome after surgical repair. There was no mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The diagnosis of choledochal cyst dilatation (CCD) can be suspected in the postnatal period on the basis of a gastro-intestinal symptomatology with or without associated to jaundice. The combination ultrasound-abdominal CT-scan helps set the diagnosis. The laparatomic approach always has its place for the management of CCD, especially in our context.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ajps.ajps_4_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,29]],"date-time":"2024-05-29T07:54:52Z","timestamp":1716969292000},"page":"168-170","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Choledochal Cyst in Children in Dakar"],"prefix":"10.67481","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Nd\u00e8ye Aby","family":"Ndoye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ibrahima Bocar","family":"Well\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lissoune","family":"Ciss\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Doudou","family":"Gu\u00e8ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheikh","family":"Diouf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pape Alassane","family":"Mbaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faty Balla","family":"Lo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nd\u00e8ye Fatou","family":"Seck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alo\u00efse","family":"Sagna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oumar","family":"Ndour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Ngom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":null,"reference":[{"key":"R1-10-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"230","DOI":"10.4103\/1319-3767.98425","article-title":"Choledochal cysts: A review of literature","volume":"18","author":"Bhavsar","year":"2012","journal-title":"Saudi J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"R2-10-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"209","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.179.1.1790209","article-title":"Using MR cholangiopancreatography to reveal anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union in infants and children with choledochal cysts","volume":"179","author":"Kim","year":"2002","journal-title":"AJR Am J Roentgenol"},{"key":"R3-10-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2005-873071","article-title":"Congenital dilatation of extrahepatic bile ducts in children.
