Biliary Ascariasis with Gallbladder Invasion: A Unique Entity
,
Abstract
Intestinal Ascariasis is a common helminthic infection in developing countries and in some rare cases, worms migrate to the biliary tract and gall bladder. Extraintestinal biliary ascariasis presents with jaundice, right upper quadrant abdominal pain, and vomiting. Ultrasonography is a useful diagnostic modality. Albendazole and Mebendazole are commonly used anti-helmintic agents for conservative management, whereas endoscopic removal is needed in rare cases.
