%X Caroli disease is a rare affection. It¡¯s commonly
associated to polycystic kidneys. We report a case of a nine-year-old girl. She
was hospitalized at the pediatric unit of the Cocody Teaching Hospital for an
intermittent fever. During the clinical examination, we found a likely
cirrhotic hepatomegaly associated to an edematous-ascitic syndrome. Biological
exams showed an infectious syndrome with a hyperleukocytosis at 13.000 per mm3, a
hyperneutrophilia at 9.600 per mm3. Serological viral markers of B,
C and D hepatitis were negative. We saw an intra-hepatic cystic picture at the
liver CT-scan with a vascular lesion at his center called a ¡°dot sign¡±. The
diagnosis of Caroli disease could be evocated.
