Abstract

Fasciola hepatica infection is a zoonosis mostly encountered in the sheep-raising countries. The early phase F. hepatica infection is characterised by fever, abdominal pain and eosinophilia. The biliary obstruction and icterus are rarely caused by F. hepatica. Our case was a 22-years old female, from Giresun, a north coast city of Turkey, who applied because of icterus and abdominal pain. To analyse the problem abdominal US and laboratory tests was performed which showed dilation in the proximal of choledochal and tubuler echogenites and elevated hepatic enzymes. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed minimal dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts and heterogenous filling defect in the hilus. Biliary sphincterotomy had been applied and F. hepatica had been removed by balloon catheter. This case report showed that endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ERCP has an important role in the diagnosis and the treatment of biliary fascioliasis

Özet

Fasciola hepatica koyun yetiştiriciliği yapılan ülkelerde sıklıkla görülen bir zoonozdur. F. hepatica enfeksiyonu erken dönemde ateş, karın ağrısı ve eozinofili ile karakterizedir. F. hepatica nadiren bilier tıkanıklık ve iktere neden olur. Vakamız, Türkiye’nin kuzey kıyı şeridinde bir şehir olan Giresun’dan karın ağrısı ve ikter nedeniyle gelen 22 yaşında bayan hastadır. Nedeni araştırmak için yapılan batın ultrasonu ve laboratuvar testlerinde; proksimal koledokta genişleme ve tubuler ekojenite ile karaciğer enzimlerinde yükselme görülmüştür. Endoskopik intrahepatik safra kanallarında minimal genişleme ve hilusta heterojenöz dolma defekti görülmüştür. Biliar sfinkterotomi uygulanmış ve F. hepatica balon kateter ile çıkarılmıştır. Bu vakada endoskopik retrograd kolanjiopankreatografi ERCP ’nin fasiyoliyaz tanı ve tedavisinde önemli bir role sahip olduğu görülmüştür
