Abstract:

Hydatosis is an infection which affects mostly the liver. Although rare, Rupture of hydatid cysts in biliary ducts is one of the most serious complications of hepatic hydatidosis. Many authors recommended ERCP as the safest therapeutic approach for management of ruptured hydatid cysts, but there is still a real need for recommendations regarding per-procedure aspects and follow-up issues. We present the experience of a secondary hospital in the management of inaugural biliary complications of hepatic hydatid disease with clinical reflection for improvement of the quality of care.
