A 25-year-old female presented with a sore throat, fever and epigastric pain after coming from India. She had an obstructive pattern of liver function tests and an ultrasound scan abdomen showed features suggestive of acute cholecystitis and pancreatitis, with no obvious gallstones. She made no improvement with intravenous antibiotics. Subsequently, a contrast CT demonstrated a curvilinear structure within a thickened gallbladder and common bile duct. After input from multiple specialities, she had a MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) which further confirmed the curvilinear filling defect impacted in the gallbladder neck and proximal common bile duct. Biliary ascariasis with mild pancreatitis was diagnosed and was successfully treated with mebendazole. At one-month outpatient follow-up, her liver function tests and ultrasound scan had returned to normal. This case report discusses the radiological findings seen with biliary ascariasis using a range of imaging modalities. It also highlights the importance of the multidisciplinary team in managing a patient who presents a diagnostic challenge, in order to achieve the best patient outcome.
