[ERCP in bile duct dilatation with jaundice due to spontaneous hydatid cyst rupture. Diagnosis, differential diagnosis, therapy and result].

We report the case of a 17 years old Turkish patient hospitalized for colics and jaundice. Ultrasound, computer tomography and ERC showed enlarged intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts. The further investigations documented the rupture of a hepatic hydatid cyst into the biliary tract with obstructive jaundice. Other causes of jaundice as cystic duct malformation, calculi, tumours could be ruled out by surgery and histology. Etiology, diagnosis and treatment of hydatid jaundice are discussed.

Liability for the health of detainees.

District surgeons have a statutory duty to provide medical treatment to detainees held in terms of the State of Emergency. District surgeons enjoy no special protection or immunity by reason of their position. Accordingly, they may be held legally liable for the consequences of negligent treatment or the failure to treat when circumstances so demand. In addition, a district surgeon who behaves unethically in the course of his or her statutory duties would be subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the Medical and Dental Council.
