title: Congenital hepatic fibrosis: A study of a Saudi family and review.
abstract: A Saudi family with three members afflicted with congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is described. CHF was associated with cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in all of the three siblings. The proband's case report is presented and the detection of the other two children by family screening is described. This is the first report of CHF in a Saudi family. Review of the disease is outlined.
