Worm in Gallbladder - Biliary Ascariasis
- Tubular luminal structure with central linear hypoechoic line.
- Motile if alive, nonmotile if dead.
- Echogenic without acoustic shadowing.
- If calcified, it may cast acoustic shadow and get fragmented into several small pieces making confusion with cholelithiasis.
