Abstract
HEPATIC DISORDERS IN PREGNANCY MAY BE UNIQUE TO PREGNANCY, PRE EXISTING, COINCIDENT WITH PREGNANCY AND POSSIBLY EXACERBATED BY THIS CONDITION. MOST COMMON NONOBSTETRIC CAUSES INCLUDE OBSTRUCTION BY GALLSTONES AND VIRAL HEPATITIS. TUMORS OR PARASITES ARE LESS FREQUENT. A DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSE MUST ALWAYS INCLUDE HYDATI D DISEASE ESPECIALLY IN ENDEMIC COUNTRIES. PRIMARY EXTRAHEPATIC HYDATID CYSTS ARE RARE. WE PRESENT THE CASE OF A 33 WEEKS PREGNANT PATIENT WITH OBSTRUCTIVE JAUNDICE DUE TO A HYDATID CYST LOCATED IN THE MAIN BILE DUCT, WHICH IS A VERY UNUSUAL SITUATION.
