My 4 year old son has a choledocal cyst extending throughout the bile duct into the left
hepaticAmebic liver abscess
Hepatic hemangioma
Hepatic ischemia
Hepatic vein obstruction (budd-chiari)
Liver transplant
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (tips) duct. Excision of the bile duct is standard procedure. But, some debate remains on the necessity of
partialPartial (focal) seizure
Partial thromboplastin time (ptt)
Thyroid gland removal hepatectomy to prevent future
malignancyHyperpigmentation w/malignancy
Malignancy in the liver from the remaining cyst. After>
Transfer interrupted!
e have 2 choices:
1. leave the liver intact, the theory is that
malignancyHyperpigmentation w/malignancy
Malignancy of the liver from this type of cyst is rare as an adult and the risks of
partialPartial (focal) seizure
Partial thromboplastin time (ptt)
Thyroid gland removal liver removal are greater than the risk of cancer.
2. resect the part of the liver with the cyst thereby removing the chance for cancer. (remove risk as much as possible).
Please comment, if possible, on the above.
Thank you.
