Ascaris lumbricoides infection caused severe biliary issues in a 60-year-old male. The study highlights imaging techniques for diagnosing this rare parasitic disease affecting the bile ducts.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Parasitology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Biliary ascariasis is a rare parasitic infection caused by Ascaris lumbricoides.
  • It can lead to significant gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary complications.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old male presented with abdominal pain, fever, and chills.
  • Intraoperative findings revealed Ascaris lumbricoides within the common bile duct and intrahepatic ducts.
  • Chronic cholecystitis was also diagnosed.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates the diagnostic utility of various imaging modalities in identifying biliary ascariasis.
  • Successful surgical removal of the parasite was achieved.

Implications:
