A primigravid patient with a type 1 choledochal cyst is reported. Conservative management allowed completion of the pregnancy and vaginal delivery of a term infant. Postpartum, the choledochal cyst was excised and biliary tree drained. A review of the literature and discussion of management alternatives of choledochal cysts discovered during pregnancy is presented.
