Zusammenfassung:	Caroliʼs disease is a rare congenital disorder characterized by segmentary saccular dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts, which manifests itself clinically by cholangitis and bile stones. We report two cases of Caroliʼs disease in schoolgirls with clinical signs of recurrent abdominal pain associated with intermittent crises of cho-lestatic jaundice. Diagnosis was made by retrograde cholangiography in one patient and by intravenous cholangiography in the other.
