This paper presents experience with 4 cases of choledochal cyst who were treated
at the Dept, of Pediatrics, Catholic Medical College, from December, 1983 to February, 1985.
All patients were less than 24 months of age when diagnosed, and the yongest was a 5 days of age,
all of whom were female. The common presenting- symptoms in this cases were jaundice, abdominal
distention, and vomiting. An abdominal mass was palpable in all and abdominal pain was not complaint in these patients. Laboratory findings were nonspecific indicating obstructive jaundice with a variable degree of hepatocellular dysfunctions. Radiographic investigations (plain abdomen, IVP, ultrasound echogram, and
99mTc-HIDA scan) were used in all instances to confirm the diagnosis. All patients underwent a Roux-en-Y choledochocystojejunostomy following removal of the：cyst, and confirmed the anomaly as
having a Alonso-Lej type A.
