Radiologic demonstration of Caroli's disease: a case report.
Since the first report by Caroli et al., there have been several reports dealing with Caroli's disease or multiple communicating cysts of the biliary tree. Recently, the usefulness of computed tomography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, ultrasonography, and radionuclide scintigraphy have been emphasized for evaluation of this condition. This report describes a case of Caroli's disease and emphasizes the value of ultrasonography in the evaluation of this condition.
