Abstract :
Caroli s disease is a rare congenital disease of the liver characterized by cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct. The clinical features of Caroli s disease include jaundice, right upper abdominal pain and fever due to the associated complications of hepatolithiasis or bacterial cholangitis. Endoscopic or percutaneous cholangiography is the traditional method of diagnosis, but nowadays magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography is emerging as the diagnostic modality of choice. The treatment for Caroli s disease includes supportive care with antibiotics for cholangitis and ursodeoxycholic acid for hepatolithiasis. Surgical resection has been used successfully in patients with monolobar disease. For patients with diffuse involvement, the treatment of choice is orthotopic liver transplantation. In this article, we report a 58 years – old male patient with Caroli’s disease. The patient had abdominal pain and episodes of cholangitis for 3 years and finally, he was treated with surgical resection.
