When the intrahepatic bile duct wall has protrusions, it is clearly seen as central dots or a linear streak. [10] Caroli disease is commonly diagnosed after this “central dot sign” is detected on a CT scan or ultrasound. [10] However, cholangiography is the best, and final, approach to show the enlarged bile ducts as a result of Caroli disease.

The bile duct scarring that occurs in PSC narrows the ducts of the biliary tree and impedes the flow of bile to the intestines. Eventually, it can lead to cirrhosis of the liver and liver failure . PSC increases the risk of various cancers, including liver cancer , gallbladder carcinoma , colorectal cancer , and cholangiocarcinoma .

Type IVb: Multiple dilatations involving only the extrahepatic bile ducts. Type V: Cystic dilatation of intrahepatic biliary ducts without extrahepatic duct disease. The presence of multiple saccular or cystic dilations of the intrahepatic ducts is known as Caroli's disease. [4] Type VI: An isolated cyst of the cystic duct is an extremely rare ...
The canals of Hering, or intrahepatic bile ductules, are part of the outflow system of exocrine bile product from the liver. Liver stem cells are hypothesized to inhabit the canals. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), previously known as primary biliary cirrhosis, is an autoimmune disease of the liver. [1] [2] [3] It results from a slow, progressive destruction of the small bile ducts of the liver, causing bile and other toxins to build up in the liver, a condition called cholestasis.
