ConclusionWe maintain that it is advantageous to receive surgical treatment in the asymptomatic period for patients with a prenatally diagnosed choledochal cyst. A cyst size of length>  5.2 cm and width>  4.1 cm suggested that clinical symptoms might appear, and that surgery should be carried out as soon as possible, even in the neonatal period.
