[Fascioliasis hepatis--computed tomographic aspect].

Abstract

In a patient with liver fascioliasis (already excreting eggs with the faeces) a CT scan of the liver showed after i. v. contrast injection a relatively characteristic aspect with multiple, small, hypodense areas, partly in formations of bunches of grapes, partly in a street-like arrangement towards the portal vein - bile duct - areas. 9 months later the hypodense lesions had markedly decreased.

Computed tomography findings of hepatic lesions in human fascioliasis: report of two cases.

Two patients with hepatic fascioliasis are presented. Computed tomography demonstrated multiple low density areas located in the center and periphery of the liver. In one patient a spontaneous decrease in the size of the low-density areas occurred but the abdominal symptoms were persistent before bithionol treatment. After the treatment both patients became asymptomatic. The computed tomography scan can be a useful tool for the diagnosis and follow-up of the patients with hepatic fascioliasis.
