Pancreatic duct ascariasis: sonographic diagnosis--a case report. Tropical Gastroenterology. 2005 Oct-Dec; 26(4): 197-8http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/125071We report the case of a 19-year old boy presenting in the emergency with severe epigastric pain whose biochemical tests revealed elevated serum amylase and lipase levels and a clinical diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was made. On ultrasonic examination, the pancreas appeared bulky with a linear tubular echogenic worm (ascaris) seen within the prominent main pancreatic duct. Successful removal of the pancreatic duct worm was achieved through endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography (ERCP).engAdultAscariasis --surgeryCholangiopancreatography, Endoscopic RetrogradeHumansMalePancreatic Ducts --ultrasonographyPancreatitis --parasitologyCase Reports
