It is a rare congenital disorder that classically causes saccular ductal dilatation, which usually it segmental dilatation.

A 57 years-old female inpatient suffering from cholangitis due to Caroli’s disease was admitted at Wonkwang University Jeonju Oriental Medicine Hospital. The patient was treated with herbal medicine such as Yongdamsagan-tang and acupuncture. As result, there was improvement of symptoms.
