Caroli’s Disease on Liver Ultrasound & colorDoppler: Key Findings, Diagnosis, and Management

Case Summary: An ultrasound with color Doppler revealed over 10 thin-walled liver cysts ranging from 1 to 2 cm, distributed throughout the liver. Many cysts displayed small tubular extensions, and some areas showed a twinkle artifact on Doppler, likely from biliary stones or sludge within dilated ducts. Additionally, a few cysts showed central and peripheral vascularity. These findings strongly suggest Caroli’s disease as the most likely diagnosis. Differential diagnoses include polycystic liver disease (which lacks tubular extensions and twinkle artifacts), biliary hamartomas (which do not connect to bile ducts), and cystic metastases (typically irregular with septations). Prognosis varies, as Caroli’s disease may lead to recurrent cholangitis, biliary stones, liver abscesses, and cholangiocarcinoma. Management includes antibiotics for infections, potential stone removal, and liver transplant in severe cases. Regular follow-up imaging is recommended due to the risk of complications.
