Fasciola hepatica tanısında endosonografinin rolü

Fasciola hepatica, tüm dünyada koyun, keçi, sığır, manda, at ve tavşan gibi otçul hayvanlarda yaygın olarak görülen yaprak şeklinde bir parazittir. Zaman zaman insanları da etkiler. Nonendemik bölgelerde nadir görülmesi sebebiyle hastalığın teşhisinde zorluklar ve gecikmeler yaşanılmaktadır. Konvansiyonel görüntüleme yöntemleri ile tanı koymak oldukça güçtür, tanı genellikle endoskopik retrograd kolanjiopankreotografi ile konulmaktadır. Endosonografi safra yolu hastalıklarının teşhisinde yeni ve önemli bir tanı yöntemi olarak yerini almıştır. Biz endosonografi ile tanısı konulan ve endoskopik retrograd kolanjiopankreatografi ile tedavi edilen olgumuzu sunuyoruz.

Role of endosonography in Fasciola hepatica

Fasciola hepatica, a leaf-like parasite, has a worldwide distribution in a large variety of grass-grazing animals such as sheep, goats, cattle, buffaloes, horses, and rabbits. Fascioliasis may affect man occasionally. Because of the rarity in nonendemic regions, difficulties and delays are experienced in the diagnosis of the disease. It is very difficult to diagnose with conventional imaging methods, and diagnosis is usually made by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Endosonography in the diagnosis of biliary tract diseases has taken its place as a novel and important diagnostic method. We present an endosonographically diagnosed case that was treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
