Article Synopsis
- Ascariasis is a widespread parasitic infection, particularly in India, that typically resides in the small intestine but can also affect the liver and pancreas.
- In a case study, a 61-year-old woman with unexplained recurrent acute pancreatitis was found to have pancreatic ascariasis diagnosed via endoscopic ultrasound.
- This case highlights the need to consider ascariasis as a potential cause of acute pancreatitis and suggests that endoscopic ultrasound is a valuable diagnostic tool for such conditions.
