Ascariasis is a prevalent intestinal helminthic infection caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, commonly known as roundworm. While the disease may remain asymptomatic when the parasites are confined to the intestinal lumen of the small bowel, symptoms and complications can arise when the helminths invade the biliary tree or pancreatic ducts. In cases of severe infection, a mass of roundworms can lead to intestinal complications, such as bowel obstruction. The morphological identification of Ascaris by multimodality imaging techniques plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, as well as in the monitoring and prevention of complications.
蛔虫病是一种由似蚓蛔线虫引起的常见肠道蠕虫感染，似蚓蛔线虫通常被称为蛔虫。当寄生虫局限于小肠肠腔时，疾病可能无症状，但当蠕虫侵入胆管或胰管时，就会出现症状和并发症。在严重感染的情况下，大量蛔虫可导致肠道并发症，如肠梗阻。通过多模态成像技术对蛔虫进行形态学鉴定在诊断以及并发症的监测和预防中起着至关重要的作用。
