Amongst various causes responsible for the obstruction of digestive tract, intestinal ascariasis is certainly one of the least frequent.
We report an extremely rare case of a 5-year-old male patient operated on for appendicitis due to adult Ascaris Lumbricoides worms intraoperatively detected in the appendiceal lumen.
On examination patient's clinical features indicated acute appendicitis. Therefore, the treatment-of-choice could only be surgical. Classic appendectomy was performed and the postoperative course was uneventful, with full recovery.
在导致消化道梗阻的各种病因中，肠道蛔虫病无疑是最不常见的病因之一。
我们报告一例极为罕见的病例，一名5岁男性患者因术中在阑尾腔内发现成虫蛔虫而接受阑尾炎手术。
经检查，患者的临床特征表明为急性阑尾炎。因此，唯一的治疗选择只能是手术。实施了经典的阑尾切除术，术后病程顺利，患者完全康复。
