Abdominal Imaging volume 27, pages 333–335 (2002)Cite this article

Abstract

We report a case of intrabiliary hydatid cyst rupture that was indirectly suspected on computed tomography, diagnosed with magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC), and confirmed with ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. MRC evaluation is a highly sensitive and accurate method for diagnosing intrabiliary rupture.
