Abstract

Due to the anatomical characteristics of the biliary tract, Ascaris lumbricoides rarely settles in the gallbladder, which makes biliary ascariasis a rare clinical condition. Ultrasonography plays a significant and practical role in the diagnosis and follow-up of suspected cases of biliary ascariasis. The 15-year-old case presented herein had been complaining of abdominal pain and dyspepsia for three months, and the clinical and laboratory findings for the patient indicated acute abdomen. Abdominal ultrasonography showed worms consistent with Ascaris inside a normal-sized gallbladder, dilated choledochus and the pancreatic duct. We started antiparasitic treatment in the patient, with cholangitis and pancreatitis diagnoses. Post-treatment follow-up ultrasonography showed a normal gallbladder, choledochus and pancreatic duct.

Özet

Safra yollarının anatomik özellikleri nedeniyle askaris lumbrikoides safra kesesine nadiren yerleşir. Bu nedenle biliyer askariyazis ender görülen bir klinik durumdur. fiüpheli olgularda ultrasonografi bilier askariazisin tanı ve takibinde önemli ve pratik bir rol oynamaktadır. Onbeş yaşındaki olgumuzun üç aydır devam eden karın ağrısı ve dispeptik şikayetleri mevcuttu. Hastanın klinik ve laboratuar bulguları akut batın ile uyumluydu. Yapılan batın ultrasonografisinde, normal boyutlardaki safra kesesi ile dilate koledok ve pankreatik kanal içinde askarisi düşündüren kurtçuklar görüldü. Kolanjit ve pankreatit tanısıyla hastamıza antiparazitik tedavi başlandı. Tedavi sonrası yapılan kontrol ultrasonografide safra kesesi, koledok ve pankreatik kanal normal olarak gözlendi.
