Liver hydatid cyst rupture in biliary tree resulting in cholangitis and pancreatitis: A case report

Hydatid disease is commonly observed in the Mediterranean region and North Africa and is caused by Echinococcus species. The liver is the most commonly affected organ, and biliary complications are the most frequent complications of hepatic hydatid disease. Despite this, pancreatitis due to hepatic hydatid disease is rare. In this case report, we describe a patient with cholangitis and pancreatitis resulting from the rupture of a hepatic hydatid cyst into the biliary system.
