The presence of this worm in the biliary tree, however, is a rare condition, especially in children. We describe a child with biliary ascariasis who was presenting clinical symptoms mimicking surgical acute abdomen. The diagnosis was made by ultrasound. The child was successfully treated with mebendazole and anti-spasmolytic. Biliary ascariasis should be added to the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain in patients, even in children, from endemic areas.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAscariasisAcute Abdominal PainsBiliary TreeChildArticle1518890WOS:0002620343000182-s2.0-6144924719519130346Q3Q4
