The Common

Ascariasis is one of the most common helminthic diseases in humans, occurring mostly in countries with low standards of public health and hygiene, thereby making ascariasis highly endemic in developing countries. In endemic areas, 30% of adults and 60–70% of children harbour the adult worm. Biliary ascariasis is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice. Conventional management involves endoscopic extraction of worm. We are reporting a rare case of ascaris which induced extrahepatic biliary obstruction in a young male who presented with acute cholangitis. The ascaris was removed by laparoscopic exploration of the common bile duct. Postoperative period was uneventful.

Ascaris infestation that too causing biliary obstruction is very rare in infancy even in endemic area. Adult Ascaris diameter (3-6 mm) is more than the average diameter of CBD in paediatric population, which is 1.27 +/- 0.67 mm. We are reporting a baby of seven months who presented with conjugated hypebilirubinemia and pancreatitis due to Round Worm in CBD.

Ascending Cholangitis

Biliary ascariasis is a rare disease in a non-endemic area. However, it is one of the possible etiological factors for retarded growth as well as malnutrition in children. It may cause intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, biliary obstruction, liver abscess, hepatolithiasis, and pancreatitis in adults. Herein, we report a patient with ascending cholangitis secondary to biliary ascariasis who was successfully managed with Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreaticography.

Mitochondrial Anomalies

Alterations of liver cell mitochondria represent pathologic phenomenon of a fundamental nature. Mitochondrial anomalies have been often described in association with cholestasis. In attempt to determine whether a given pattern of mitochondrial alteration has any correlation with the cause of cholestasis, liver biopsies were examined from 38 patients showing :a. extrahepatic cholestasis due to complete or partial extrahepatic biliary obstruction (8 cases proven at operation)b. intrahepatic cholestasis due to drugs (9 cases), viral hepatitis (6 cases) and alcoholic cirrhosis (15 cases).Mitochondria exhibiting ultrastructural changes due to aging or to the ‘wear and teart’ processes were not considered. In this study, the only profound and most prominent mitochondrial deformation was reported on basis of their common occurrence in randomly examined sections.
