| Popis: |
This case report describes a 23-year-old male who was incidentally diagnosed with Caroli disease while investigating symptoms of recurrent upper quadrant pain and fever. Imagining studies, including magnetic resonance cholangiography revealed the “central dot sign,” which is pathognomonic for this condition, along with cystic dilatations of the intrahepatic bile ducts and the presence of biliary stones. The diagnosis was confirmed and treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid led to a notable reduction in symptoms. This case underscores the need for further research and understanding to develop more effective diagnostic and treatment strategies. Regular follow-up remains essential for managing disease progression and preventing complications. |
