Biliary Obstruction from Fasciola hepatica by drjasminekaur is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A 20-year-old man from Sudan presented with biliary obstruction caused by the liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, after experiencing abdominal pain and elevated liver enzymes. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed the living fluke, which was removed, and treatment with triclabendazole was initiated. This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections in patients with biliary obstruction, especially in individuals with recent travel history to endemic regions.
