%X BACKGROUND: Biliary diseases during pregnancy are not uncommon and are frequently due to cholelithiasis. Choledochal cyst during pregnancy is rare. The management of biliary pathologies during pregnancy poses a challenge as the window of opportunity to carry out any interventions with minimal risk is small.
METHODS: We report the case of a lady who was diagnosed with a large type I choledochal cyst during the second trimester of pregnancy. Due to increasing symptoms and recurrent cholangitis, she was managed with antibiotics and surgical resection. She remained well and delivered a healthy baby boy.
CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians need to consider choledochal cyst as a differential in pregnant patients presenting with upper abdominal fullness.
