Noninvasive diagnosis of Caroli syndrome associated with congenital hepatic fibrosis using hepatobiliary scintigraphy.

A patient who was studied for portal hypertension had an enlarged liver and multiple hepatic cysts on abdominal CT scan. He underwent hepatobiliary scintigraphy using Tc-99m mebrofenin which documented communication of the cysts with the main biliary tree and allowed a noninvasive diagnosis of Caroli syndrome associated with congenital hepatic fibrosis.
