چکیده
S23 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND / VOLUME 6 / SUPPLEMENT 1 / AUGUST 2017 the absence of ascariasis. There were no complications. Results: EUS features were single or multiple linear hyperechoic structure without acoustic shadowing in the pancreas divisum with central anechoic tube representing alimentary canal of the worm. Live roundworms were removed from papilla without undertaking sphincterotomy. In endemic areas, sphincterotomy facilitates the risk of migration of worms into the common bile duct. Conclusions: Ascariasis-induced acute pancreatitis is mild and EUS is the investigation of choice. The recurrence is rare and treatment is side viewing endoscopy with removal of worms.
