Unrecognized biliary tract obstruction due to choledochal cysts or biliary atresia can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis in utero of choledochal cyst allows prompt postnatal diagnostic evaluation and appropriate surgical therapy to be instituted early in life. This may minimize the potential complications of cholangitis, cirrhosis, and liver failure in infants with choledochal cysts.
胆总管囊肿或胆道闭锁导致的未被识别的胆道梗阻可导致严重的发病率和死亡率。宫内诊断胆总管囊肿可使出生后能迅速进行诊断评估,并在生命早期实施适当的手术治疗。这可能会将胆总管囊肿患儿发生胆管炎、肝硬化和肝衰竭等潜在并发症的风险降至最低。
