| Abstract | ||||
| Carolis disease is a congenital disorder characterized by a segmental and sacular dilatation of intrahepatic biliary ducts. The diagnosis of Carolis disease depends on demonstrating that the cystic lesions are in continuity with the biliary tree which can be shown by ultrasonography, computerized tomography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography which is considered as the gold standard diagnostic tool. Treatment of Carolis disease relies on the location of the biliary abnormalities, while the localized forms can be treated with surgery; liver transplantation is the only effective modality for diffuse forms as in our current case which reported in our Gastroenterology and Hepatology department at Damietta cardiology and gastroenterology center for 27 years old male presented with right upper quadrant pain, jaundice with repeated vomiting. | ||||
