Caroli Disease ; Humans

Caroli's syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disease. Here a case of Caroli's syndrome associated with medullary sponge kidney was reported. The patient was a 2-years and 10 months-old boy. He presented with hepatosplenomegaly. Fever, abdominal pain or jaundice was not found. The imaging examination showed intrahepatic bile duct dilation, splenomegaly, medullary sponge kidney and nephrocalcinosis. After introduction of the case, this paper reviewed the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of Caroli's syndrome.

Peribiliary cysts, known as cystic dilatation, of the extramural peribiliary glands of the bile duct are rare, and are usually detectable under conditions of pre-existing hepatobiliary diseases such as liver cirrhosis. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult, because they are usually asymptomatic. Distinction of peribiliary cysts from premalignant or malignant cystic lesions is mandatory. Herein, we report a case of peribiliary cyst, which was preoperatively assumed as unilobar Caroli's diseases in healthy young patients and briefly discuss the management of the condition.

Complicated hepatic microabscess secondary to ascending cholangitis following ERCP (Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram) is rare, and needs to be differentiated from other microabscesses, metastasis or Caroli's disease. We experienced a case of hepatic microabscess associated with septic cholangitis following ERCP. Cholangiogram showed multiple sac-like abscess pockets with characteristic biliary communication, and CT scan revealed multiple low attenuated lesions. At the resolving stage of chotangitic microabscess, CT scan showed partial rim enhancement of the abscesses and disproportional dilatation of intrahepatic ducts. The residual parenchymal enhancement surrounding the resolved microabscess pockets and dilatated biliary ducts, however, remained even after clinical recovery.

Cystic lesions of the liver in the adult can be classified as developmental, neoplastic, inflammatory, or miscellaneous. They occur in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients with or without preexisting liver disease. Many of the lesions represent a diagnostic dilemma for the clinician and usually a single imaging study is not diagnostic. The physician must understand the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic characteristics of these cystic lesions including benign lesion such as simple (bile duct) cyst, autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease, biliary hamartoma, Caroli disease, congenital hepatic fibrosis, and premalignant lesion such as biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma. In this review, we review the clinical, radiological, and histologic features of the most common benign cystic liver disease and also present current management options. An understanding of these facts will allow more definitive diagnosis and shorten the diagnostic workup for focal cystic liver lesions.

The diagnosis of cystic liver disease has made great progress with the advent of enhanced imaging techniques. At the same time, its management has gradually improved over the past few decades, providing the basis for the development of appropriate diagnostic and treatment guidelines. To this end, the European Association for the Study of the Liver has developed clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of non-infectious cystic liver disease. This guideline put forward recommendations based on an in-depth review of the relevant literature for addressing clinical issues, including the diagnosis and treament of hepatic cysts, hepatic mucocystic tumors, biliary hamartomas, polycystic liver disease, Caroli disease or Caroli syndrome, biliary hamartomas, and peribiliary cyst.
