To study the changes in diagnosis and treatment of pediatric choledochal cyst in the past 10 years, a retrospective analysis was made in 79 children with choledochal cyst, who were admitted into our hospital from 1982 to 1998. Results show that in the past years, the clinical manifestation of choledochal cyst in children have become less obvious for earlier consultation. B-mode ultrasounscanning should be the first choice since it aids in the diagnosis of choledochal cyst as well as its related and complicated diseases. Choledochectomy is the only radical treatment for choledochal cyst in children.
