To establish normal common bile duct diameter measurements in children, highlighting differences from adult criteria.
Cross-sectional observational study conducted at a tertiary care center
Sample of 131 children aged from newborns to 15 years
Ultrasonography used to measure common bile duct diameter
Statistical analysis performed to evaluate differences across age groups
Mean age of participants was 6.05 years, with a range from 1 month to 14 years
CBD diameter averages were 1.01 mm (under 1 year), 2.36 mm (1-10 years), and 2.77 mm (over 10 years)
Significant differences in CBD diameter among age groups (P < 0.001)
Correlation found between liver span and CBD diameter (P < 0.001)
