Abstract

Ascariasis is one of the most common helmintic diseases. Biliary ascariasis is less frequent but important because of its complications. In this paper, we present a patient who admitted to our clinic with the complaints of abdominal pain and progressive icterus. His liver function tests were abnormal. Abdominal ultrasonography was compatible with cholangitis and possible parasitic infection of biliary ducts. ERCP was performed and several ascaris worms were seen at the papilla. Endoscopic papillotomy was performed and the patient was given medical treatment. The patient subsequently became asymptomatic, and his liver function test improved. Particularly in patients coming from endemic regions for A.lumbricoides and presenting with obstructive cholangitis, biliary ascariasis should be considered. Medical treatment in conjuction with endoscopic removal is a safe and effective treatment for this infestation.

Özet

Askariazis en sık görülen helmintik infeksiyonlardan birisidir. Biliyer askariazis daha az sıklıkta görülmekle birlikte çeşitli komplikasyonları nedeniyle önemlidir. Bu yazıda, karın ağrısı ve ilerleyici sarılık nedeniyle kliniğimize başvuran hasta sunuldu. Hastanın karaciğer fonksiyon testleri bozuktu. Abdominal ultrasonografi kolanjitle ve muhtemelen safra yollarında parazitle uyumlu idi. ERCP yapıldığında papillada çok sayı da askaris görüldü. Endoskopik papillatomi uygulandı ve medikal tedavi verildi. Takiplerinde hastanın semptomları ve karaciğer fonksiyon testleri düzeldi. Özellikle endemik bölgelerden, obstrüktif kolanjitle gelen hastalarda bilier askariazis düşünülmelidir ve bu infestasyonların tedavisinde medikal tedavinin yanısıra endoskopik yaklaşım etkili ve güvenilirdir.
