Abstract

A 17 years old man was admitted to the clinic with severe colicky right upper abdominal pain. There was a two-year history of jaundice and ascariasis, with trembling and fever. Pathological biochemical laboratory results of his serum were as follows: direct bilirubin 1.02 mg/dl, total biluribin 2.0 mg/dl and alkaline phosphatase 702 IU/ml. Abdominal ultrasonographıc examination, revealed ascariasis-like findings in the common bile duct and gallbladder, while in ERCP common bile duct dilatation was the only pathology found. No ascariasis was observed on guaiac examination. Meanwhile, the patient was given antihelmintic treatment. Ascariasis-like findings persisted in the choledochus on repeated ultrasonographic examinations and surgery was performed. Exploration of the choledochus revealed a 15 x 20 mm Fasciola hepatica. Surgical treatment cholecystectomy + choledochotomy + T-tube drainage was performed.

Özet

Onyedi yaşında erkek hastanın kliniğe başvurma nedeni sağ üst kadranda şiddetli, kolik tarzında karın ağrısıydı. Zaman zaman titreme ve ateş tarif eden hastanın öyküsünde 2 yıl önce ikter ve askariyazis vardı. Laboratuvarda patolojik bulgular: Direkt bilüribin 1.02 mg/dl, total bilüribin 2.0 mg/dl ve alkalen fosfataz (ALP) 702 IU/ml idi. Yapılan ultrasonografik incelemede, koledok ve safra kesesinde askariyazis ile uyumlu bulgular saptandı. ERCP'de, koledokta minimal dilatasyon dışında patoloji izlenmedi. Gaita incelemelerinde askariyazise rastlanmadı. Bu arada, hastaya askariyazis ön tanısıyla antihelmintik tedavi başlandı. Ultrasonografik tetkiki tekrarlanan hastanın, koledoğunda askariyazis düşündüren görüntünün sebat ettiği görüldü. Ameliyatına karar verilerek, yapılan koledok eksplorasyonunda 15 x 20 mm boyutlarında Fasciola hepatica saptandı. Hastaya kolesistektomi + koledokotomi + T-tüp drenaj uygulandı.
