Hepatobiliary fascioliasis is an uncommon disease. Depending on the stage of the disease it can present with a wide variability of clinical symptoms. Knowledge of the specific radiological findings of the disease is crucial to shorten the time to final diagnosis, which is usually long. We report a case of hepatobiliary fascioliasis in a 26-year-old woman with intermittent abdominal discomfort showing non specific findings at computed tomography and ultrasound. A hypothesis of an infectious disorder was formulated based on MRI findings and a recent history of travelling. Final diagnosis was confirmed by subsequent serology testing.
肝胆片形吸虫病是一种罕见疾病。根据疾病阶段的不同,其临床症状表现差异很大。了解该疾病的特定影像学表现对于缩短通常较长的最终诊断时间至关重要。我们报告一例26岁女性的肝胆片形吸虫病病例,该患者有间歇性腹部不适,计算机断层扫描和超声检查显示非特异性表现。基于磁共振成像结果和近期旅行史,提出了感染性疾病的假设。随后的血清学检测证实了最终诊断。
