Radionuclide scintigraphy in Caroli's disease.
Congenital cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts involving the major intrahepatic radicles was first described by Caroli and hence named as Caroli's disease. We present here a case in which the only symptom was intermittent pain in the abdomen for last one-and-a-half-year and a radionuclide scan done effectively, not only diagnosed the disease but also the associated cholangitis.
