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 minimiz
## Abstract Choledochal cyst is one of the intraβabdominal abnormalities of the biliary ducts that present as a cystic mass in the right upper quadrant abdomen. Prenatal diagnosis has been achieved by the demonstration of a connection between a dilated common bile duct and a cystic lesion. In this
