Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the CT features of int raperitoneal manifestations with parasitic infestation in nine patients. CONCLUSION. The CT features of intraperitoneal manifestations of parasitic infestation were single or multiple multiseptated cystic masses in the peri toneal cavity, hazy omental infiltration, or both. Recognizing these featur es is important to establish an early diagnosis that leads to rapid treatme nt and helps avoid unnecessary surgery.
