Dilatation of the Common Bile Duct Congenital

**Congenital expansion of the common bile duct** is a pathological condition characterized by an increase in the size of the bile duct and a narrowing of its lumen against the background of undetectable changes in its walls. The ducts become enlarged due to their overflow with bile due to inflammation or dyskinesia of the biliary tract. Pre-medical care includes temporary elimination of gallbladder emptying disorders and implementation of only dietary recommendations until qualified treatment is carried out. Conservative therapeutic methods and surgical treatment according to indications are used.

Definition

Dilatation of the common bile duct is a congenital malformation of the bile ducts, in which there is an increase in the lumen (diameter of the cavity) of the common bile or common hepatic duct. This disease is a condition in which abnormal expansion of the gallbladder occurs, resulting in disruption of the normal flow of bile.
