Figure 1 A: Abdominal ultrasonography (US) revealed a marked gall bladder swelling and wall thickness without stones or debris, indicating an acute cholecystitis; B: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) revealed a similar gall bladder thickness as well as free space around the gall bladder, suggesting exudate associated with severe inflammation.
Figure 2 A chest computed tomography (CT) scan showing massive pericardial effusion (arrow) and right pleural effusion (triangle).
Figure 3 After treatment with albendazole, abdominal US revealed disappearance of the gall bladder swelling and wall thickness.
