Abstract

Intestinal infestation with Enterobius vermicularis is common, especially in the developing countries. However, its migration in the bile ducts is rare, often diagnosed after cholecystectomy. More investigations are needed to define its involvement in symptoms presented by patients and the likelihood of complications.

Keywords: Enterobius vermicularis; bile duct infestation; cholecystectomy.
