Abstract:
Communicating cavernous ectasia of the intrahepatic bile ducts (Caroli's disease) is frequently accompanied by calculus formation. Percutaneous choledocholithotomy was successfully performed using a choledochoscope in a young adult with multiple calculi. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of choledocholithotomy using this technique in Caroli's disease.
