  • Hepatology

Context:

  • Biliary ascaridiasis is a rare condition caused by roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides) infestation of the biliary tract.
  • It can lead to significant hepatobiliary complications, including obstruction and pancreatitis.
  • Diagnosis and management are crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To report a case of biliary ascaridiasis presenting with biliary obstruction and pancreatitis.
  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and successful management of this condition.
  • To review the existing literature on biliary ascariasis.

Summary:

  • A case of biliary ascariasis is presented, detailing a patient diagnosed with biliary obstruction and pancreatitis.
