Cystic dilation of the common bile duct is a congenital condition defined by a communicative dilation of the extrahepatic bile duct, whether associated with or without dilation of the intrahepatic bile duct. Intestinal malrotation, on the other hand, refers to a failure of rotation and fixation of the primitive intestinal loop during embryonic life. The association of cystic dilation of the common bile duct with intestinal volvulus is a very rare occurrence, posing a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Here, we present a case of an 8-year-old girl admitted for the management of cystic dilation of the common bile duct associated with intestinal volvulus, which was surgically treated with a favorable outcome.
