Abstract
Ascariasis, a worldwide common parasitic disease, caused by ascaris lumbricoidesaffecting mainly the small intestine. This worm could invade the gallbladder and be responsible of an acute cholangitis. Our case report describes this particular condition in which our patient of 23 years old had his gallbladder invaded with Ascariasis and in which the Bili-MRI showed spectacular images. We choose to call it ‘Christ sign’.
