CASE REPORT: HEPATIC ECHINOCOCCAL CYST RUPTURE INTO THE BILIARY TREE AND GALLBLADDER

Аннотация

Hepatic echinococcosis complicated by cyst rupture into the bile ducts and gallbladder is a rare but serious condition requiring immediate medical attention. This article presents a clinical case of a 36-year-old patient with a hepatic echinococcal cyst that ruptured into the biliary tree, leading to the development of mechanical jaundice and cholangitis. The diagnostic methods, including ultrasound, MRI, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), are described, along with the successful use of endoscopic papillotomy and surgical treatment (choledohotomy) to remove parasitic elements and drain the bile ducts.
