Caroli's disease, a rare liver condition, can affect a single lobe. This study details two cases of left-lobe-only Caroli's disease, highlighting successful non-surgical management and patient recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Caroli's disease is a rare congenital disorder characterized by cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts.
  • While often presenting with diffuse involvement, monolobar or segmental presentations are less common but documented.
  • Understanding the spectrum of Caroli's disease is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • This report details two distinct cases of Caroli's disease exclusively affecting the left lobe of the liver.
  • Case 1: A 13-year-old presented with acute pancreatitis.
  • Case 2: A 60-year-old presented with obstructive jaundice, diagnosed via percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography.

Findings:

  • Both patients underwent non-resectional management of the affected bile ducts.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Diagnostic imaging modalities included percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and postoperative T-tube cholangiography.
  • Both patients demonstrated favorable outcomes, remaining well at 4 and 5.5 years post-intervention.

    • Implications:

    • Monolobar Caroli's disease, though infrequent, can be managed successfully without surgical resection.
    • Early diagnosis through appropriate cholangiography techniques is key to effective treatment.
    • These cases contribute to the limited literature on unilateral Caroli's disease, supporting conservative management strategies.
