A 66 year-old man was hospitalized with a 3-day history of upper right quadrant pain and jaundice. The patient described similar, recurrent episodes during the last 3 months. The physical examination revealed fever, an icteric sclera and tenderness at the upper right quadrant of the abdomen as well as the epigastric area; there was no rigidity or rebound tenderness. Laboratory tests showed a total serum bilirubin of 5.2 mg/dL (normal, 0.3-1.2); direct bilirubin, 4.3 mg/dL (normal, 0.1-0.4); aspartate aminotransferase, 84 U/L (normal, 545); alanine aminotransferase, 76 U/L (normal, 0-50); and serum alkaline phosphatase, 433 IU/L (normal, 25-230). The patient underwent an abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and an Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (Figures 13). Meanwhile he was managed with Piperacillin-tazobactam 4g each 6 hours iv.

In this case, the CT observed hepatic hydatid cysts and intra and extrahepatic dilatation with multiple intraductal calcified filling defects (figure 1). ERCP with sphincterotomy was performed (Figures 2-3), showing one bigger and two smaller calcified cysts compressing the main hepatic ducts, and multiple calcified hydatid membranes where removed by balloon sweeping (Figure 4). The patient had an unremarkable recovery and was discharged on postoperative day 2. The treatment was changed to Cefuroxime-axetile 500mg each 12 hours for 5 days. 3 months later the patient remained asymptomatic.

The communication between a cyst and the biliary tract is the most common complication of hepatic hydatid cyst (HHC). Communicating rupture consists of a tear of the endocyst with escape of cyst contents via biliary radicles that have been incorporated in the pericyst (1). This may lead to obstructive jaundice, pancreatitis, cholangitis, and sepsis with high mortality (2). Small cysto-biliary communications develop in 80-90% of all HHCs. Abdominal US, CT or Magnetic resonance imaging may detect the presence floating hydatid membranes inside the biliary tree or even cystobiliary fistulas
