Caroli's disease: scintigraphic and radiographic findings.

Caroli's disease is a rare congenital anomaly of the liver. Since new diagnostic techniques for the evaluation of hepatic disease have been introduced, the number of reported cases of Caroli's disease has been gradually increasing. This report describes the case of a 13 year old girl with nausea, vomiting, fever and hepatomegaly. The diagnosis of Caroli's disease was established by ultrasonography and CT scan. The complications and management are discussed. The important points in management are to relieve symptoms and to conduct regular examinations by ultrasonography for the early detection of hepatobiliary carcinoma.
