    Biliary ascariasis, a parasitic infection, can be accurately diagnosed using ultrasonography. This imaging technique effectively visualizes worms in the gallbladder and bile ducts, aiding in preoperative assessment and surgical planning.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Medicine
    • Parasitology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Biliary ascariasis is a helminthic infection affecting the biliary tract.
    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is crucial for effective management.
    • Traditional diagnostic methods may have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the clinical presentation of biliary ascariasis.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in biliary ascariasis.
    • To compare preoperative sonographic findings with operative outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 12 cases with biliary ascariasis.
    • Preoperative ultrasonography to detect worms in the gallbladder and common bile duct.
    • Surgical exploration in 10 cases for comparison with imaging findings.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasonography successfully demonstrated worms in the biliary tract in all visualized cases.
    • Operative findings confirmed the sonographic detection of worms.
    • High accuracy of ultrasonography in diagnosing biliary ascariasis was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasonography is a reliable and accurate imaging modality for diagnosing biliary ascariasis.
    • Sonography facilitates preoperative assessment and surgical planning for biliary ascariasis.
    • This study supports the routine use of ultrasonography in suspected cases of biliary ascariasis.
