Abstract
We report a case of temporary biliary obstruction due to fascioliasis. This case report shows that in Central Europe, fascioliasis is one of the differential diagnoses of abdominal pain, especially if it is associated with eosinophilia. Successful medical treatment is possible even with obstruction of the bile duct.
