Distinguishing duodenal duplication cyst from choledochocele: A case report

Abstract

Duodenal duplication cysts (DDC) are a rare type of enteric duplication. We describe the clinical presentation and laparoscopic management of a 7-year-old boy with a periampullary DDC.We also discuss the embryologic and imaging features that distinguish DDC from choledococele (CC). Careful consideration of the anatomic relationships between the ampulla, common bile duct, and duplication cyst are essential to avoid intraoperative bile duct injury.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank Dr. Goldstein for allowing me to work on his behalf during this year. Moreover, this adventure could not have been done without the indefectible support of my supervisor, Pr Poli-Merol, for whom I express my deepest respect. Finally, I would particularly like to thank the American committee of the Reims pediatric hospital for allowing my family and I to realize this great adventure and to help us to progress in our professional and personal fields.
