| Abstract;Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was performed pre- and postoperatively to evaluate 2 cases of pediatric congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). In both cases, the intrahepatic and the common bile ducts were clearly visible on preoperative MRCP. In one case with a cystic choledochal cyst, the size and location of the huge cyst did not permit visualization of the pancreaticobiliary malunion. In the other case, a fusiform choledochal cyst, MRCP facilitated identification of pancreaticobiliary malunion and the presence of a defect (protein plug like) in a common channel. Both patients underwent cyst excision by hepaticoenterostomy and recovered satisfactorily. Postoperative direct imaging was difficult, but MRCP appears to be useful in evaluating the pancreaticobiliary tract, the intrahepatic bile duct at the point of anastomosis and the main pancreatic duct. Our results suggest that a fast spin echo MRCP is useful in diagnosis and postoperative follow-up of congenital biliary dilatation in pediatric patients. (author abst.) |
