Caroli's disease, a rare congenital bile duct disorder, can lead to serious complications. This report details a case in an 8-year-old boy, highlighting its presentation and liver involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Caroli's disease is a rare congenital disorder characterized by segmental intrahepatic bile duct dilation.
  • It is associated with potential complications including cholangitis, liver cirrhosis, and cholangiocarcinoma.
  • While reported globally, occasional cases originate from Asia.

Observation:

  • A case study of an 8-year-old boy with Caroli's disease is presented.
  • The patient exhibited symptoms of intermittent abdominal pain, fever, and hepatosplenomegaly.
  • Bilobar liver involvement was noted, particularly affecting the right superior lobe.

Findings:

  • The case confirms the occurrence of Caroli's disease in pediatric populations.
  • It illustrates the typical clinical presentation including pain, fever, and enlarged liver/spleen.

  • The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing segmental intrahepatic bile duct dilation.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent severe complications of Caroli's disease.
    • This case contributes to the understanding of the disease's presentation in different geographical regions.
    • Further research into the genetic and environmental factors influencing Caroli's disease is warranted.
