Hepatic ascaridiasis.

M van Severen, B Lengele, J Dureuil

    Endoscopy
    |May 1, 1987

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Adult Ascaris worms can migrate into the bile ducts, causing serious biliary stasis and abscesses, particularly in children. This case highlights medical treatment and advanced imaging for hepatic ascaridiasis.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Parasitology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Ascaris lumbricoides typically resides in the intestine.
    • The sphincter of Oddi's dysfunction can allow adult worms to enter the ampulla of Vater.
    • This migration is more common in children but can occur in adults post-sphincterotomy.

    Observation:

    • Worms can ascend into intrahepatic bile ducts, causing biliary stasis.
    • Stasis can lead to infection and abscess formation within the liver.
    • Fragments of adult Ascaris may be found within these hepatic abscesses.

    Findings:

    • Clinical presentation varies significantly with age.
    • Children often experience massive infestations with severe symptoms like shock and acute abdominal pain, necessitating laparotomy.

  • Adults typically present with symptoms of biliary infection.

    • Implications:

    • This case of hepatic ascaridiasis was diagnosed using ERCP and CT scan.
    • Unlike previous reports, treatment in this instance was medical, not surgical.
    • Highlights the importance of considering parasitic causes in biliary disease, especially with advanced diagnostic tools.
