Abstract

Fascioliasis is an infectious disease caused by the hepatic trematodes Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Here, we report the case of Fasciola gigantica presenting with biliary obstruction and abdominal pain that was diagnosed and treated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP). A 46-year-old woman presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and jaundice. Physical examination revealed icterus and hepatomegaly. Laboratory findings revealed an increase in liver transaminases and bilirubin. Abdominal ultrasonography showed extrahepatic and intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. The patient underwent ERCP. One live Fasciola gigantica was removed from the common bile duct by ERCP. In conclusion, fascioliasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of obstructive jaundice, especially in endemic regions, and it should be kept in mind that ERCP plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. To our knowledge, this is the second case report of Fasciola gigantica treated by ERCP in Turkey.

Özet

Fasiyoliyazis karaciğer tremadotları olan Fasciola hepatica ve Fasciola gigantica tarafından meydana getirilen bir enfeksiyondur. Burada biliyer obstrüksiyon ve karın ağrısı ile başvuran ve endoskopik retrograd kolanjio pankreotografi (ERCP) ile tanı ve tedavisi yapılan Fasciola gigantica olgusu sunuldu. 46 yaşında bayan hasta sağ üst kadranda lokalize karın ağrısı ve sarılık şikayetleri ile yatırıldı. Fizik muayenesinde skleralarda ikter ve hepatomegali olan hastanın laboratuar bulguları arasında karaciğer taransaminazları ve bilirubinde artış mevcuttu. Batın ultrasonografisinde koledokta ve intrahepatik safra yollarında dilatasyon olan hastaya ERCP yapıldı. ERCP ile koledoktan bir adet canlı Fasciola gigantica alındı. Sonuç olarak fasiyoliyazis obstrüktif sarılığın ayırıcı tanısında, özellikle de endemik bölgelerde düşünülmeli ve bu hastaların tanı ve tedavisinde ERCP'nin önemli bir yer tuttuğu bilinmelidir. Bu vaka bilgilerimize göre ülkemizde ERCP ile tedavi edilen ikinci fasciola gigantica vakası olma özelliğini taşımaktadır.
