Spiral computed tomography scanning after intravenous cholangiography (IVC-SCT) was used to assess the anatomy of the biliary tree and anastomosis in a 7-year-old girl with recurrent cholangitis 5 years after surgical excision of a choledochal cyst. The technique clearly visualized the stenosis of the hepaticojejunostomy and hepatic duct and the dilated intrahepatic ducts. IVC-SCT provides a precise, prompt, and accurate image with minimal invasiveness and is especially suitable for the preoperative evaluation of pediatric patients.
