Abstract
Ascariasis is a well-known cause of acute cholangitis and cholecystitis; ho wever, very rarely do worms penetrate and colonize the liver parenchyma Her e we present the unique radiological demonstration (US, CT and ERCP) of hep atobiliary ascariasis in which worm was first alive in the parenchyma of th e liver and subsequently died and formed liver abscess.
