Biliary Ascariasis
Biliary Ascariasis is a gastroenterology or hepatobiliary term related to digestion, the bowel, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts or biliary physiology.
Abnormalities involving biliary ascariasis may disturb digestion, bile flow, intestinal transit or liver function and can produce pain, jaundice or altered bowel symptoms.
History and abdominal examination are combined with blood tests and targeted ultrasound, CT, MRI, endoscopy or contrast imaging.
Obstruction, infection, inflammation, leakage and malignancy are among the mechanisms clinicians consider when interpreting biliary ascariasis.
Treatment may involve medicines, nutritional support, endoscopic therapy, image-guided drainage or surgery according to the cause.
Fever, progressive jaundice, peritonism, major bleeding or persistent vomiting alongside biliary ascariasis are features that can require urgent assessment.
