Fasciola hepatica in the common bile duct: spyglass visualization and endoscopic extraction

Abstract

ABSTRACT We report the case of a 60-year-old Peruvian female who was admitted with abdominal pain and jaundice. Cholangioscopy revealed a leaf-like trematode, Fasciola hepatica. This trematode was extracted with a Dormia's basket via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
