Introduction: Choledochal cyst is a rare congenital abnormality of the biliary tract presented primarily in infants and young children. It is very uncommon for choledochal cyst to be demonstrated during pregnancy. In fact, its manifestations during pregnancy are nonspecific and variable. If symptoms of abdominal pain, and jaundice were observed, choledocal cyst should be considered as a differential diagnosis. MRI is regarded more reliable in order to diagnose the number and anatomic location of the cyst. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancratogeraphy is another diagnostic method which can be opted for in pregnancy. Moreover, Laprascopy can be utilized for the cyst fenestration treatment.
