[Fasciolar hepatic abscesses: value of hepatic ultrasonography. Apropos of 3 cases].
Hepatic abscess is a rare complication of fasciolasis. The ultrasonographic appearances of these abscesses are not well known. The finding of nodular echodense images in the hepatic parenchyma may cause diagnostic confusion. We report three cases in which abdominal ultrasonography demonstrated hepatic abscesses complicating fascioliasis. Follow-up examination showed regression of these lesions after treatment.
