ABSTRACT

La fasciolasis es una enfermedad parasitaria producida por el tremátodo digeneo Fasciola hepática. Durante la fase crónica de la enfermedad los parásitos pueden entran en los conductos biliares, y ser causa de ictericia obstructiva, colangitis, pancreatitis y otras complicaciones. Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente intervenida por sospecha de colelitiasis y colédocolitiasis, a la cual durante la exploración coledociana intraoperatoria le fueron extraídos múltiples parásitos adultos de Fasciola hepática. Este hallazgo sólo fue aclarado posteriormente en la biopsia diferida. Se realiza una revisión breve del tema, métodos de diagnóstico, tratamiento médico y alternativas quirúrgicas de tratamiento.


Fasciolasis is a zoonotic disease caused by the digenean trematode Fasciola hepatica. During the chronic phase of the disease the parasites invade the main biliary ducts, causing obstructive jaundice, cholangitis, pancreatitis and other complications. We report a 75 years old female, operated due to the suspicion of a choledocholithiasis. During the exploration of the choledochus, adult F. hepatica parasites were extracted. The pathology report of the parasites confirmed the diagnosis.
