Journal Title: Batna Journal of Medical Sciences (BJMS) - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1

Abstract

Ascaris lumbricoïdes infection is a cosmopolitan helminthiasis that is endemic in tropical countries of the globe. Often asymptomatic, it is sometimes revealed by complications that make it serious. Biliary ascariasis is one of them. We report 2 cases of ascariasis of the common bile duct in the General Surgery Department of Hospital Le Dantec of Dakar (Senegal). These were two patients with hepatic colic and acute angiocholitis in whom the diagnosis was made by ultrasound. Treatment was surgical in both cases. Through these 2 cases we review the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this disease rarely described in our regions, which are however ascaridian endemic zones.
