AbstractBiliary communication in hepatic hydatid cyst is reported in 1–20% of patients. These patients present with fever (70–90%), right upper quadrant pain (80%), cholangitis (20–37%), acute pancreatitis (rare), liver abscess, and septicemia. Diagnosis of biliary rupture is on abdominal ultrasound, computerized tomography, and/or magnetic resonance imaging demonstration of hydatid membranes. We report a case of rupture hydatid cyst where diagnosis was on endosonographic findings and the patient had normal caliber common bile duct.

Hydatid disease, although endemic mostly in sheep-farming countries, remains a public health issue worldwide, involving mainly the liver. Intrabiliary rupture is the most frequent complication of the hepatic hydatid cyst. Endoscopy is advocated, preoperatively, to alleviate obstructive jaundice caused by intracystic materials after a frank rupture and is also a useful and well-established adjunct in locating postoperative biliary fistulas.Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography with sphincterotomy has been successful as the sole and definitive means of treatment of intra-biliary ruptured hydatid cysts. A case of an elderly woman with frank rupture is presented, where the rupture was definitively managed endoscopically in conjunction with sphincterotomy to remove the intrabiliary obstructive daughter cysts and to achieve decontamination of the biliary tree.Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography provided an excellent diagnostic and therapeutic modality in the present case and, thus, it should be considered as definitive treatment in similar cases especially if surgical risk is anticipated to be high.
