Abstract

Rupture of hepatic hydatic cyst into the biliary tree results in clinical picture of obstructive jaundice because of obstruction of common bile duct with hydatic material. Detection of nonshadowing intraluminal structures in the bile duct may complicate the diagnosis since it resembles other biliary disorders such as ascariasis, stone or infection.
