Overview
Historical Perspective
Vachel and Stevens were the first to describe a case of cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts in 1906, but Jacques Caroli in 1958 gave a more thorough description of a syndrome of congenital malformation of the intrahepatic ducts with segmental cystic dilatation, increased biliary lithiasis, cholangitis and liver abscesses, associated with renal cystic disease or tubular ectasia. The disease is uncommon, with about 180 cases reported in the literature.
