The presence of this worm in the biliary tree, however, is a rare condition, especially in children. We describe a child with biliary ascariasis who was presenting clinical symptoms mimicking surgical acute abdomen. The diagnosis was made by ultrasound. The child was successfully treated with mebendazole and anti-spasmolytic. Biliary ascariasis should be added to the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain in patients, even in children, from endemic areas.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAscariasisacute abdominal painsbiliary treechildArticle1518890191303462-s2.0-61449247195Q2WOS:000262034300018Q4
