Abstract Caroli disease (CD) is a rare congenital pathology of probable autosomal recessive inheritance, it is part of the fibrocystic liver diseases and is included in group V of the Todani classification. It is characterized by saccular or cystic dilations of the intrahepatic bile ducts, sometimes associated with congenital liver fibrosis, and is then called Caroli syndrome (CS).
