type II: true diverticulum from extrahepatic bile duct
type III: dilatation of extrahepatic bile duct within the duodenal wall (choledochocoele)
type IV: next most common
IVa: cysts involving both intra and extrahepatic ducts
IVb: multiple dilatations/cysts of extrahepatic ducts only
type V: multiple dilatations/cysts of intrahepatic ducts only (Caroli disease)
type VI: dilatation of cystic duct.
