Abstract
We present a case of congenital choledochal cyst with late aggravation after an abdominal trauma, which needed surgical resection of the cys t and cholecystectomy followed by hepatodigestive portojejunal anastom osis. This case shows, that inspite of minimal changes in the beginnin g later aggravation - for example after trauma - can be observed. Sono graphy is a noninvasive, non-ironising method and appears to be adequa t for diagnosis and pre- and postoperative monitoring, but can not rep lace endoscopic, retrograde-choledochopancreaticography.
