Two cases of cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic biliary tree are described. Both patients succumbed to recurrent bile stasis, cholangitis and septicaemia. The pre-operative diagnosis is not easy but should be considered in patients who have symptoms of biliary tract disease and recurrent urinary tract infections, ureteric colic or haematuria; particularly if urography demonstrates renal cysts or medullary sponge kidney.
