Abstract

Fascioliasis is an uncommon hepatobiliary disease in children. Ultrasonographic, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the disease have been thoroughly described in the last decade. These radiological findings play an important role in the differential diagnosis of the disease since it may clinically mimic several hepatobiliary and systemic diseases.
