We present a case of a 9-yr-old child with gastrointestinal ascariasis. Computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrates the Ascaris roundworms as cylindrical filling defects within contrast filled bowel loops. In addition, the intestinal tract of the roundworm itself is seen as a thin thread of oral contrast within the tubular filling defect. To our knowledge, this is the first reported description of the CT findings of intestinal ascariasis in a pediatric patient.
我们报告一例9岁儿童胃肠道蛔虫病病例。腹部计算机断层扫描显示蛔虫为造影剂充盈的肠袢内的圆柱形充盈缺损。此外，蛔虫本身的肠道在管状充盈缺损内表现为一条细的口服造影剂线。据我们所知，这是首次报道的儿科患者肠道蛔虫病的CT表现。
