Abstract

The most common helminthic infestation in the world is that of Ascaris lumbricoides, a nematode. It is prevalent mainly in the far East, Indian Subcontinent, Latin America and Middle East countries. Although it is prevalent in this part of the world, yet we have not encountered many cases. Here we present to you a case of 6 year old female who was evaluated for obstructive jaundice and was found to have biliary ascariasis on imaging and underwent ERCP and removal of worm.
