Caroli disease: the diagnostic approach

J Pediatr. 1979 Jun;94(6):879-82. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3476(79)80206-1.

Abstract

Two new pediatric examples of Caroli disease are reported; one was diagnosed by operative cholangiography and one by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography. Although a variety of approaches may lead one to suspect the diagnosis, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography is now the method of choice to establish the diagnosis.
