[Cystic dilatation of the common bile duct initially treated by cystojejunostomy and reoperation 25 years later because of infectious and lithiasic complications].

A case of cystic dilatation of the common bile duct is reported. Initially treated by Roux-Y cystojejunostomy, twenty five years after, the patient presented a cholecystitis. This patient was treated by cholecystectomy and a few months after by excision of the cyst with Roux-Y hepato-jejunostomy. This attitude is proposed to avoid the complications of the cystic dilatation of the common bile duct: secondary biliary cirrhosis, angiocholitis, and malignant degeneration.
