[Hepatic fascioliasis: the usefulness of CT and US].
We present a case report of invasive hepatic fascioliasis. Ramified hypodense lesions with peripheral distribution were found in the CT-scan. These lesions disappeared after treatment with Bithionol. CT-scan plays an important role in the diagnosis of invasive fascioliasis whereas ultrasound is useful in the chronic phase. Both are helpful to evaluate response to treatment.
