Mechanical jaundice caused by common bile duct obstruction due to hepato-biliary ascariasis

Abstract

The paper presents a case of successful surgical treatment of a patient with common bile duct ascariasis, which caused obstructive jaundice. Modern methods of examining a patient with obstructive jaundice did not allow to make the right diagnosis of the common bile duct ascariasis before surgical intervention. The rarity of this pathology arouses interest in this material.
