Abstract/OtherAbstract:
When Caroli's disease, defined as a congenital dilation and ectasia of segmental intrahepatic bile ducts in the absence of other histological abnormalities, is associated with periportal fibrosis, it is termed Caroli's syndrome. We describe the case of a 35-yr-old woman with Caroli's syndrome without clinical manifestation of portal hypertension despite diffuse involvement of the liver who was successfully treated with orthotopic liver transplantation after recurrent nearly fatal episodes of cholangitis.
