description Biliary Ascariasis occurs when Ascaris lumbricoides worms invade the biliary system. It may cause biliary obstruction, cholangitis, cholecystitis, or acute pancreatitis. We report a case of a 37-year-old female patient who presented with a history of upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss for two weeks. Ultrasound showed dilated common bile duct with linear tubular echogenic structure in the common bile duct and bowel loops. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio pancreatography (ERCP) revealed large adult worms confirming the diagnosis of Ascariasis.
