Abstract

Presentation and management of 204 patients with biliary ascariasis seen over a period of 5 years is reported from a highly endemic area of Kashmir. Ultrasonography is the single most useful means of diagnosis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is extremely helpful. Most patients respond to conservative management and around one-fifth of all patients require surgery.
