Abstract
Here we report biliary fascioliasis in two women 27 and 54 years old from Ardabil Province, Iran who presented with nausea, anorexia, weight loss, and pain between shoulder blades. Endoscopic ultrasound showed distal common bile duct strictures (CBD) and a lesion in its proximal. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed and live parasites were diagnosed and successfully managed into the duodenal lumen. The clinical findings of the patient improved after the procedure. This report emphasizes that the prevalence of Fasciola in Ardabil is predictable and this infection could be simultaneously diagnosed and treated by the ERCP.
