ABSTRACT
Choledocal cyst are cystic dilatations of the biliary tree varying in location from the ampulla of vater to the intrahepatic bile ducts. The majority of the cases are diagnosed during the first decade of the life but in 20% of patients with choledochal cysts, the diagnosis is not made until adulthood. Although these cysts occur frequently in females, presentation in pregnancy or the postpartum period is rare. Choledochal cysts presenting during pregnancy an increased risk to both the mother and developing fetus. The clinical presentation is often nonspecific, and physical and radiologic examination are limited during pregnancy because of the presence of the gravid uterus. We experienced one case of choledochal cyst during pregnancy and report our experience.
