MeSH Heading: Caroli Disease
Tree Number(s): C06.130.120.127.500; C06.198.184.500; C16.131.077.245.250; C16.131.314.184.500; C16.320.184.250
Unique ID: D016767
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016767
Scope Note: Congenital cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts (BILE DUCTS, INTRAHEPATIC). It consists of 2 types: simple Caroli disease is characterized by bile duct dilatation (ectasia) alone; and complex Caroli disease is characterized by bile duct dilatation with extensive hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension (HYPERTENSION, PORTAL). Benign renal tubular ectasia is associated with both types of Caroli disease.
