Abstract:
Biliary ascariasis is a common problem in rural areas in China. The common presentations include biliary colic, acute cholangitis, obstructive jaundice, choledocholithiasis and acute cholecystitis. Here, we describe a case with biliary ascariasis two days after endoscopic sphincterotomy for choledocholithiasis. A living ascaris was successfully removed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. This case indicated that biliary ascariasis is not an uncommon complication of endoscopic sphincterotomy in some regions where ascariasis is epidemic.
