Abstract:
A case report of a perforated choledochal cyst with bile peritonitis occurring in a 13-month old girl is presented. The perfortion was identified on the right lateral aspect of the common bile duct. And T-tube drainage was instituted. Episodes of ascending cholangitis followed pooling of the stagnant bile in the biliary system. Reoperation was recommended but in vain.
