High drain output………ERCP  She was admitted to specialized Arab hospital in 28/11/2007 for ERCP  ERCP  sphincterotomy  extraction of multiple daughter hydatid cysts  Injection of hypertonic saline 10%

Case Presentation, Hospital course Side viewing camera Dilated CBD Multiple filling defects Drain at site of excised cyst

ERCP

After ERCP drain output decreased, & she was discharged home in stable condition

Jenin admission, Ascending cholangitis  In 18/12/2007 the patient was readmitted to Jenin Hospital with jaundice, generalized fatigability, attacks of fever, & pruiritis  Physical examination revealed tinge of jaundice & scratch marks  Drain output cc/day of thick yellow discharge

Jenin again, Ascending cholangitis CBC: HB: 10 WBC: Plt: KFT: Cr: 0.3 BUN: 6LFT: ALT: 137 AST: 163 ALP: 1790 TSB: 2.2 INR: 1.7 PTT: 36

Hydatid disease of the biliary tree  Hepatic hydatid disease (HHD) is a major endemic problem in sheep-rearing regions of the world.  Communication between cysts and the biliary tree is detected at a rate of approximately 20%.  Intrabiliary rupture, which has an incidence of 5-17%, is a common complication of hydatid cysts Reference : Gastroenterology and hepatology journal

Hydatid disease of the biliary tree  A rupture into the biliary tree can lead to obstruction by the daughter cysts, producing cholangitis.  Imaging techniques are highly sensitive for detecting liver hydatidosis, but usually fail to locate the involvement of the biliary tree.  The presence of a dilated common bile duct (CBD), jaundice, or both, in addition to a cystic lesion on (US) and (CT), are suggestive of biliary hydatid disease (BHD). Reference : Gastroenterology and hepatology journal

Hydatid disease of the biliary tree  ERCP with endoscopic sphincterotomy and extraction of the cysts from the CBD has emerged as a safe and an effective treatment for patients with intrabiliary rupture of hepatic hydatid cysts. Plus Albendazole.  Surgery is an alternative.. Reference : The internet journal of gastroenterology.
