Abstract
This case report describes the management of a Todani Type 1b choledochal cyst in a 26-year-old woman who presented with chronic epigastric dyspepsia and acute epigastric pain. MRI revealed a cystic dilatation of the distal common bile duct. The patient underwent successful surgical excision of the cyst, cystic duct, and gallbladder, followed by reconstruction with a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The postoperative course was uneventful, with discharge on the sixth day. This case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and surgical intervention to prevent complications such as biliary cirrhosis and malignancy.
