A rare pediatric case of Caroli's syndrome, a congenital liver fibrosis, presented with fever and enlarged liver. Imaging and biopsy confirmed irregular bile duct dilation, cholangitis, and cholangiolitis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Hepatology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Caroli's syndrome is a rare congenital liver disease characterized by bile duct abnormalities.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for preventing complications such as cholangitis and liver fibrosis.

Observation:

  • A two-year-old girl presented with recurrent fever and hepatomegaly.
  • High-resolution ultrasound and computed tomography revealed dilated intrahepatic bile ducts with bridge formation and intraluminal protrusions, while the extrahepatic bile duct remained normal.

Findings:

  • Liver biopsy confirmed irregular bile duct dilation with signs of cholangitis and cholangiolitis.
  • The patient's condition was diagnosed as Caroli's syndrome, associated with congenital liver fibrosis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of high-resolution imaging techniques in diagnosing pediatric hepatobiliary disorders.
  • Accurate diagnosis of Caroli's syndrome is essential for appropriate patient management and prognosis.
  • Understanding the imaging features of Caroli's syndrome aids in differentiating it from other pediatric liver diseases.
