CALDERON H., Miguel et al. Choledococele: Case diagnosed by MRI. Rev. chil. radiol. [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.2, pp.76-78. ISSN 0717-9308.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-93082020000200076.

Choledochocele is a cystic dilation of the distal segment of the common bile duct protruding into the duodenal lumen. Is also known as type III choledochal cyst according to Todani’s classification. It is usually misdiagnosed as duodenal duplication cyst. Multislice spiral computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography may be comparable to endoscopic retrograde cholangiography for diagnosis of choledochocele. We present a case of a 10-years-old girl presented with abdominal pain, elevation of transaminases and a magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) scan that revealed a choledochocele.

Palabras clave : Choledochocele; Choledochal cyst; Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.
