Abstract
This paper reports a series of 8 children with a choledochal cyst. The pathology, diagnosis and treatment of choledochal cyst are discussed. All the cases have been fully followed up and 1 patient has been examined 21 years after operation. The importance of choledochal cyst as a cause of obstructive neonatal jaundice is emphasized. Radical excision of the cyst with choledochoduodenostomy has been found to be the most satisfactory operation. If choledochal cyst is properly managed the prognosis is excellent.
