Imaging findings in Caroli's disease

In 1958 Jacques Caroli described communicating cavernous ectasia of the biliary tree as an uncommon cause of chronic, often life-threatening hepatobiliary disease. The disease now most often referred to as Caroli's disease is a rare condition characterized by nonobstructive saccular or fusiform dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts. In the so-called pure form, dilatation is classically segmental and saccular and is associated with stone formation and recurrent bacterial cholangitis. In the form associated with congenital hepatic fibrosis, bile duct dilatation usually is less prominent; portal hypertension and eventual liver failure typically develop as a result of the hepatic fibrosis. Caroli's disease usually is manifested in childhood and is thought to be congenital and probably inherited. Associated conditions include renal cystic disease, choledochal cysts, and cholangiocarcinoma. This pictorial essay illustrates the broad spectrum of imaging findings in Caroli's disease.
