Caroli's disease and Caroli's syndrome are rare congenital disorders characterized by non-obstructive cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts. These disorders are often associated with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. A young woman at 11 weeks of gestation was referred to our hospital for proper management of Caroli's disease during pregnancy. Magnetic resonance imaging and laboratory tests revealed Caroli's disease with chronic renal failure caused by polycystic kidney disease. She received diet control, erythropoietin and prophylactic oral antibiotics. Her pregnancy course was uneventful, and she gave birth at 37 weeks of gestation. Thereafter, her renal function gradually worsened. Hemodialysis was begun 5 years after parturition. Though the courses of pregnancies complicated by Caroli's disease or Caroli's syndrome are variable and can include life-threatening conditions, uneventful outcomes can be expected if careful management prevents biliary and renal infection.
