Relationship between Echinococcosis and biliary
stones
Presenting features depend not only on the organ involved, but also
on the size of the cysts and their position within the organ, the mass effect
within the organ and upon surrounding structures, and complications
related to cyst rupture and secondary infection. Common complications
include rupture into the biliary tree with secondary cholangitis, biliary
obstruction by daughter cysts or extrinsic compression (Ammann and
Eckert, 1996).
