Abstract:
Caroli...s syndrome is a rare entity. It is characterized by multi-cystic dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts with congenital hepatic fibrosis. Here we describe a 43-year-old female with unilobar Carolis syndrome presented recurrent episodes of cholangitis. She subsequently had a right hepatectomy and complex bilio-enteric anastomoses which included a cholangiojejunostomy. This case illustrates a safe and novel surgical strategy employed to manage a patient with unilobar Caroli...s syndrome.
