Caroli disease in a 2 month old Nigerian-A case report
Abstract
Abstract: We present a rare and first case of Caroli Disease (CD) in a child who presents with abdominal distension, regurgitation
of feeds, passage of greenish stools and fever, typical ultrasonographic and abdominal and x-ray findings. The purpose of presenting this case report is to highlight the distinctive manifestation of Caroli disease and to provide a concise report of this
rare disease with the hope that such information will help identify patients earlier in the course of their illness. This will add to medical literature by helping clinicians to know that this anomaly is treatable in a good setting and if detected early.
Keywords: Rare disease; childhood; polycystic disease; liver disease; Nigeria.
