Abstract:
We present a 60 years old female with a history of upper right quadrant pain, fever and eosinophily. We made the diagnosis of fasciolasis on clinical, parasitology studies and radiological findings. In the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) we found the bile duct of normal caliber, but with many filling defects. Fasciola eggs were found in the bile. This is the first case with endoscopic retrograde cholanglopancreatography and the fourth case of fasciolasis in Venezuela.
