MRCP findings of biliary ascariasis before and after medical treatment.

A 53-year-old woman presented with the complaints of abdominal pain on right upper quadrant, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. Her physical exam was unremarkable except for right upper quadrant tenderness. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a tubular, mobile, non-shadowing echogenic structure within the slightly dilated common bile duct. Examination of feces for ova suggested the diagnosis of ascariasis. In this report, ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatographic findings of the case are described before and after medical treatment.
