Abstract

Trisomy 13 is the third most common autosomal trisomy after trisomy 21 and 18. It is associated with malformations of genitourinary, gastrointestinal and central nervous system. Despite these broad range of malformations, there are few case reports regarding hepatobiliary system abnormalities. Choledochal cyst in association with trisomy 13 had not been reported yet. In this paper we aimed to present a case of trisomy 13, who had signs of intestinal obstruction and cholestasis and was diagnosed as choledochal cyst eventually. We conclude clinicans could consider choledochal cyst in cases of trisomy 13, presenting with gastrointestinal system obstruction

Keywords: Choledochal cyst, Trisomy 13
