Ascariasis is a frequent human gastrointestinal tract helminthic disease caused by Ascaris lumbricoide. It usually stays in the intestinal lumen and occasionally migrates into the biliary tract through ampulla of Vater .Biliary ascariasis is a critical complication of intestinal ascariasis with life-threatening manifestations .We report a case of a-38 year-old lady who presented with colicky type epigastric pain radiating to back with diffuse tenderness over abdomen on examination. Ultrasonography abdomen showed linear echogenic structure in common bile duct .Biliary ascariasis was noted on Endoscopic Retrograde CholangioPancreaticography following which extraction was done .Our report highlights the varied clinical features of biliary ascariasis.

Hepatic Hydatid

Hepatic hydatid cysts are benign cysts in the liver that are the result of parasites infection. They are caused by echinoccocus granulosis or multilocularis. They caused several symptoms like pain, obstructive jaundice, and sepsis. Hydatid cyst can be complicated to cystobiliary communication (CBC) which can be frank CBC or occult CBC. Medical, endoscopic, percutaneous and surgical treatments are different approaches to treat hydatid cyst. Here we report a case of hepatic hydatid cyst with cystobiliary communication, causing obstructive jaundice and treated with sphincterotomy and insertion of biliary stent through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Left Chest

Pancreaticopleural fistulas (PPF) are a rare etiology of pleural effusions. We describe a case of a 61-year-old man, with left chest pain with six months of progression who presented with a large volume unilateral pleural effusion. A thoracentesis was performed, which showed a dark reddish fluid(exudate) and high content of pancreatic amylase. After that an abdominal computed tomography (CT)and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was done, revealing fistulous pathways that originated in the pancreas. The patient was admitted for conservative and endoscopic treatment by Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and a prosthesis was placed on a fistulous path. He was discharged without complications, with the resolution of the pleural effusion and fistula.The interest of this case lies in the rarity of the event and absence of symptoms of the probable primary event (acute pancreatitis). The possible iatrogenic association with several drugs of his usual medication makes it even more complex.

The Common

The incidence and prevalence of foreign body (FB) ingestion are difficult to estimate. Unlike other foreign bodies, the ingestion of a toothpick is very uncommon and carries high morbidity and mortality rates. We report a case of a 73-year-old female patient presenting mid-term epigastric pain. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a slightly dilated common bile duct (CBD) and magnetic resonance showed an irregular filling failure in distal CBD and gallstones. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography revealed major papilla on the edge of a diverticulum and confirmed the distal filling failure. After sphincterotomy, a partially intact toothpick was extracted from the CBD. Neither fistulas nor perforation signs were found. Literature related to foreign bodies and toothpick ingestion was reviewed and some hypotheses to explain the reported case were created. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a toothpick lodged inside the biliary tract.
