Abstract

Ascariasis is common in tropical and hot areas of world. It, rarely, may cause serious abdominal complications. In the present study, a 12-year-old boy, who was admitted to the hospital with the symptoms and signs of acute abdomen is presented. He underwent laparotomy, obstruction of the ileum due to a large mass of Ascaris lumbricoides was found and a number of worms were extracted by enterotomy. In conclusion, physicians should consider ascariasis in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.

Özet

Askariyazis, dünyanın tropikal ve sıcak bölgelerinde sıktır. Seyrek de olsa önemli abdominal komplikasyonlara sebep olabilir. Bu komplikasyonları vurgulamak amacıyla akut batın tablosu nedeniyle opere edilen 12 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuldu. Laparotomide ileal obstrüksiyon görülmesi üzerine enterotomi yapıldı; yumak teşkil etmiş çok sayıda askaris çıkartıldı. Sonuç olarak akut batın tablosu ile karşılaşan klinisyen doktorlar, ayırıcı tanıda askariyazisi de akıllarına getirmelidirler.
