Scope note: Dilatación quística congénita de los CONDUCTOS BILIARES INTRAHEPÁTICOS. Hay dos tipos diferentes: la enfermedad de Caroli simple, caracterizada sólo por la dilatación biliar (ectasia), y enfermedad de Caroli compleja, con extensa fibrosis hepática e HIPERTENSIÓN PORTAL. Ambos tipos se asocian a ectasia tubular renal benigna.

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.
