Safra Kesesi Askariazisi: Olgu Sunumu ve Literatürün Gözden Geçirilmesi

Askariyazis, Ascaris lumbricoides enfestasyonu nedeniyle oluşan ve sık görülen bir parazit enfeksiyonudur. Çoğunlukla bağırsaklarda görülmekle birlikte nadiren de olsa safra kesesinde de görülebilir. Genelde sağ üst kadran ağrısı ile semptom verir. Tanıda radyolojik görüntüleme oldukça faydalıdır. Tedavide albendezol veya mebendazol kullanılabilir. Bu çalışmada 22 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunularak safra kesesi askariyazisinin radyolojik bulguları özetlenmiştir.

Gallbladder Ascariasis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Ascariasis is a common parasitic infection caused by ascaris lumbricoides infestation. Although it is mostly seen in the intestines, it may occasionally be seen in the gallbladder. It generally presents with symptoms of right upper quadrant pain. Radiological imaging is very useful in diagnosis. Albendezol or mebendazole may be used in treatment. The case is here presented of a 22-year old male patient radiologically diagnosed with gallbladder ascariasis.
