ABSTRACT

Q1 Possible aetiologic theories of choledochal cyst type I include all of the following except: A Obstruction of the distal common bile duct including stenosis from

biliary inflammation and inspissated bile syndrome. B Disordered recanalisation of the biliary system leading to congeni-

tal weakness of the wall of the common bile duct. C Local ischaemia during fetal hepatobiliary development resulting

in abnormal vascular-ductal interactions. D Abnormal innervation of the distal common bile duct resulting in

functional obstruction and proximal dilatation. E The pancreatic duct joining the common bile duct outside the

ampulla of Vater resulting in reflux of pancreatic juice into common bile duct causing dilatation.
