RESUMEN
El quiste de colédoco es una malformación congénita de las vías biliares poco común, que suele presentarse en la infancia. La triada clásica de ictericia, masa y dolor abdominal no siempre esta presente. Caso clínico escolar femenina de 9 años, con Pancreatitis Aguda de evolución tórpida, ecosonograma abdominal inicial sin alteraciones, y diagnóstico no concluyente de Colecistitis crónica o Colangitis alitiásica por tomografía abdominal y colangioresonancia, respectivamente. Referida para colangiopancreatografía retrograda endoscópica, estudio que fue omitido por ecosonograma abdominal control sugestivo de Quiste de colédoco. Se solicita nueva colangioresonancia, que no visualiza quiste y reporta dilatación de hepatocoledoco y colédoco terminal de aspecto afinado. Se mantiene conducta expectante. La paciente permanece asintomática, con reevaluación 3 meses después. El ecosonograma abdominal revelo dilatación fusiforme del colédoco en toda su extensión, hallazgo compatible con quiste de colédoco tipo I. Se realiza resección del quiste, con buena evolución clínica. Se concluye que el uso de estudios por imágenes no invasivos son de utilidad en la evaluación hepatobiliar en niños, y el ultrasonido abdominal continua como método de elección para esta patología.
ABSTRACT
Choledochal cyst is a congenital malformation of the bile ducts rare, usually seen in childhood. The classic triad of jaundice, abdominal mass and pain is not always present. Case report A school girl of nine years, with Acute Pancreatitis torpid, unaltered initial abdominal ultrasound, and no conclusive diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis or acalculous cholangitis abdominal and from magnetic resonance tomography, respectively. Referred for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, a study that was omitted from control abdominal ultrasound suggestive of choledochal cyst. New requested from magnetic resonance, which displayed no reports cyst and bile duct dilation and terminal hepatocoledoco related aspects. Expectant management is maintained. The patient remains asymptomatic, with reassessment 3 months later. The abdominal ultrasound revealed fusiform dilatation of the bile duct in its entirety, a finding compatible with type I choledochal cyst Resection was performed, the cyst, cholecystectomy and reconstruction of the bile duct through a hepato-jejunostomy Roux en Y no complications. Liver biopsy reported normal tissue. We conclude that the use of noninvasive imaging tests such as ultrasound is the method of choice due to its sensitivity to determine the presence of cyst and to demonstrate the anatomy of the pancreaticduct.
