| description | Telema Nga,1,2 Neelofar Abdullah,1,2 Garrett Levin1,2 1Department of Pediatrics, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, El Paso, TX, USA; 2El Paso Children's Hospital, El Paso, TX, USA Abstract: A unique case of an asymptomatic newborn with type I choledochal cyst and a single umbilical artery is reported. Ultrasound imaging was used as a screening tool and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography as a method of adequate visualization. On day 8 of life, the patient had a laparotomy with resection of choledochal cyst, cholecystectomy, and reconstruction using a jejunal Roux-en-Y to portal plate. Keywords: choledochal cyst, single umbilical artery, cholecystectomy |
