RESUMEN

Introducción:

La hepatolitiasis es endémica de las regiones del sudeste asiático con una prevalencia que puede llegar hasta el 50%, pero es rara en el mundo occidental. El diagnóstico temprano y una detallada investigación son imprescindibles para el manejo adecuado, que es todo un reto debido a la alta tasa de recurrencia y complicaciones. Caso Paciente femenina de 24 años de edad sin antecedentes patológicos personales que ingresa a por un cuadro de ictericia de siete meses de evolución. Dolor a nivel de epigastrio e hipocondrio derecho, intermitente. Siete días antes del ingreso inicia un cuadro de coluria y luego cefalea holocraneana. Los exámenes de laboratorio muestran hiperbilirrubinemia a expensas de las dos bilirrubinas (Directa 8.82 mgdl y BI 6.16 mg/dl), enzimas hepáticas elevadas (AST (SGOT) 138 mg/dl y ALT (SGPT) 116 mg/dl; Fosfatasa-Alkalina 997 y GGT 226 mg/dl.

Discusión:

Las opciones terapéuticas están encaminadas a erradicar o disminuir los factores predisponentes para el desarrollo de colangiocarcinoma incluyéndose en este la recurrencia de la hepatolitiasis. Pese a que el enfoque no quirúrgico es una herramienta diagnóstica y terapéutica no ha demostrado ventajas de su aplicación.
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Hepatolithiasisis is endemic in regions like Southeast Asia with a prevalence that may reach 50%, but in the Western world it is rare. The proper management requires a precise research and early diagnosis. This is a real challenge due to the high rate of recurrence and complications. Case report A twenty-four year-old female patient, was admitted witn a six months history of jaundice. She complained of epigastric and upper right quadrant intermitent pain. A week before admission she presented coluria and headache. Lab-tests were the fololowing Conjugated bilirrubin 8.82 mg/dl, unconjugated bilirrubin 6.16 mg/dl, AST 138mg/dl, ALT 116 mg/dl, alkaline phosphatase 997mg/dl and GGT 226 mg/dl.

Discusion:

Therapeutic alternatives are focused to erradicate predisposing risk factors of liver carcninoma, one of the is recurrent hepatolitiasis. Though, the surgical approach is a diangostic and therapeutic tool, there is no evidence of its advantages.
