Acalculous cholecystitis: ascariasis as an unusual cause.

M A Kuzu1, Y Oztürk, H Ozbek, A Soran.   

Abstract

Migration of roundworms into the biliary tree is a well-known complication of Ascaris lumbricoides infestation of the intestine. Massive infestation of the hepato-biliary tract is uncommon but can lead to complications if not treated. Here, we report two cases of acalculous cholecystitis caused by ascariasis.
