Purpose
Whether a dilated intrahepatic bile duct (IHBD) has any effect on the prognosis of choledochal cyst (CC) remains controversial. We aimed to summarize the clinical characteristics and prognosis of CC with IHBD dilatation.
Methods
One hundred ninety-two children diagnosed with CC were identified, including 127 without IHBD dilatation (group...

... 1). Further analysis of liver biopsies from the 2 groups showed that the proportion of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis was significantly increased in group B compared with group A (P = 0.012) (Table 3). Also, the postoperative complications of bile leakage, anastomotic stenosis, ileus, pancreatic pseudocyst, and cholangitis did not show significant differences between the 2 groups (P = 0.270, P = 0.169, P > 0.999, P = 0.339, and P Ken Chen, et al: Congenital intrahepatic duct dilatation > 0.999, respectively) (Table 3). ...Context 2

Finally, Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that liver fibrosis and cirrhosis occurred earlier in group B than in group A (P = 0.006) (Fig. 1). ...
