Spectrum of biliary abnormalities in hepatic hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: demonstration by multidetector computed tomography.
We present a case in which multidetector computed tomography demonstrated a specific pattern of biliary disease associated with hepatic hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: multiple intrahepatic stenoses, focal cystic dilatations along the course of the intrahepatic ducts, and large biliary cysts in conjunction with a normal-appearing extrahepatic bile duct.
