Abstract
We report six patients with billary duct obstruction due to parasites (Fasciola hepatica, ascariasis and hydatid cyst) that were diagnosed and managed with the endoscopic approach. This is the first national paper which highlights the importance of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in the management of this parasitosis. Despite choledocholithiasis as the most common cause of extrahepatic jaundice, biliary tree parasitosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis.
