Abstract

The skin has an important role in protecting the human body. However, in infants, the skin has a structure and function that are not fully mature yet, making infants vulnerable to various skin disorders. This article aims to review the structure, function, and development of infant skin, as well as the common diseases that occur in infant skin, including the causes, pathophysiology, and management. A literature review was conducted using scientific articles related to these topics. The review results show that infant skin has a different structure compared to adult skin, and the maturation of its structure and function occurs gradually. Infant skin is protected by the microbiota and the primary immune system. Common skin diseases in infants, such as dermatitis, are caused by an interaction between genetic and environmental factors, and involve the activation of skin cells, the release of mediators, and an immune response. A good understanding of the structure, function, and skin diseases of infants is very important for making the right diagnosis and management, so that the quality of life of infants can be maintained.

Abstract

Choledochal Cyst (CC) is a congenital anomaly characterized by the dilation of intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic bile ducts. This condition can occur at any age but is more common in infants and children, accounting for 80% of cases. This study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics, diagnostic approaches, and optimal management options for choledochal cysts, accompanied by case variations. The method used in this study is a literature review, gathering relevant literature from various references focused on the topic of choledochal cysts. Literature searches were conducted using library search websites, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and ProQuest, with the search keyword "Choledochal Cyst." The review indicates that choledochal cysts are more common in females and people of Asian descent, especially in Japan, with the most common symptoms presenting as the classic triad of abdominal pain, jaundice, and a palpable mass in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. This condition is more frequently diagnosed in children than in adults. Further research is needed to explore definite preventive efforts regarding this disease, as it is rare and its etiology remains uncertain.
