摘要
A case is reported of a spontaneously ruptured choledochal cyst, successfully treated by resection of the cyst and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. Bile peritonitis following spontaneous rupture of a choledochal cyst in infancy is a very rare condition. The absence of distinct clinical features of abdominal mass and jaundice made the diagnosis difficult. Abdominal sonography and paracentesis permitted early diagnosis of bile peritonitis. Laparotomy is mandatory, and intraoperative cholangiogram confirmed a ruptured choledochal cyst.
