| Core Tip |
Giant choledochal cysts are exceedingly rare in clinical practice. Here, we report a case of an 18-year-old female with a massive choledochal cyst complicated with acute cholangitis. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography was performed, which facilitated the attainment of a confirmatory diagnosis, while percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage combined with definitive surgical intervention resulted in successful clinical outcomes. The present case highlights the critical significance of advanced imaging modalities in the diagnosis of giant choledochal cysts and highlights the efficacy of staged management (drainage followed by excision) for giant choledochal cysts. And the benefits of artificial intelligence systems for surgery are also discussed. These results provide crucial insights that can be used to optimize future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for this rare biliary disorder. |
