MANAGEMENT OF A GIANT TYPE IV A CHOLEDOCHAL CYST: CASE REPORT

Abstract Background Choledochal cysts are divided into 5 types. Physicians believe that Caroli disease (which refers to type V biliary cysts) is a special type of biliary cyst caused by a mutation in the PKHD1 gene and is associated with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). There is currently no clear association between other types of choledochal cysts and polycystic kidney disease. Case presentation We report a 65-year-old male patient with jaundice, decreased appetite, and itchy skin. His biochemistry test results indicated obstructive jaundice disease. Cross-sectional imaging showed a type IVA choledochal cyst accompanied by autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Due to economic difficulties, the patient achieved percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) instead of surgery. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the second case report of the coexistence of type IVA choledochal cysts and ADPKD. We conclude that it is vital to be aware that the above condition is a possibility. This case report will aid earlier diagnosis and management and possibly prevent further damage to liver and kidney function.

Paraoesophageal Hernia

This is a rare case report of acute pancreatitis secondary to a massive incarcerated paraoesophageal hernia. The pathogenesis resulted from obstruction of the distal pancreatic duct after displacement of the pancreatic head and body into the thorax as part of a Type IV paraoesophageal hernia. Although this condition is rare, the patient made steady progress following laparotomy and open repair of hernia. She made a good recovery after prompt therapy, therefore, this report can be a guide to the diagnosis and treatment of similar conditions.

Anomalous Pancreaticobiliary Junction

A 75-year-old female incidentally presented with an enhancing intraluminal gallbladder mass, main bile duct dilatation and anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ) during the staging of gastric adenocarcinoma. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of intracholecystic papillary-tubular neoplasm. Intracholecystic papillary-tubular neoplasms (ICPN) of the gallbladder are rare gallbladder neoplasms, defined as intramucosal, preinvasive, exophytic, mass forming lesions. An association between choledochal cysts and anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction with gallbladder neoplasms is well known, and this case potentially illustrates gallbladder carcinogenesis related to these biliary anomalies.

Canal Morphology

Thorough knowledge of root canal morphology is essential for the endodontic therapy. There are rare variations in canal number and configuration in maxillary molars, which could affect treatment outcome. This paper presents the endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with two palatal canals in one root (Vertucci type IV) and a single buccal canal. In this paper cone-beam computed tomography was made to asses this morphology. This paper is intended to reinforce clinician’s awareness of the rare morphology of root canals.
