Abstract

Objective: Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of acute surgical abdomen. In the differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis, the reare many diseases including meckel diverticulum, gastoenteritis and ectopic pregnancy. Enterobiusvermicularis (EV) is a parasite of thenematodegroup. Human is the only known natural host. It is the most common and symptomatic parasite in humans allover the world. It is rarely encountered in EV appendectomy specimens. We aimed to evaluate the role of EV in the etiopathogenesis of acute appendicitis. Material and Method: The files of patients who were operated for acute appendicitis in our clinic between January 2010 and September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed electronically. Patients with EV in the lumen of the appendix were included in the study Results: The data of 4767 patients who were operated for acute appendicitis were accessed. As a result of the pathological examination, EV was detected in the lumen of the appendix in 13 patients. Demographic information; The average age was 32,3 (sd+/- 7.95)years, 9 patients were female, 4 patients were male, 10 patients were open surgery, 3 patients were operated by laparoscopic surgery. Conclusion: EV should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Diagnosis should be supported with additional imaging methods and alvarado scoring systems in association with acute appendicitis. With the information to be obtained, unnecessary surgical procedures can be avoided for patients who can be treated medically. It should be kept in mind that EV can cause acute appendicitis.

Özet

Amaç: Akut apandisit en sık akut cerrahi batın nedenidir. Akut apandisit ayırıcı tanısında meckel divertikülü, gastroenterit ve ektopik gebelik dahil birçok hastalık bulunmaktadır. Enterobius vermikülaris (EV) nematod grubu bir parazittir. İnsan bilinen tek doğal konakçıdır. Tüm dünyada insanlarda en sık karşılaşılan ve semptom veren parazittir. EV apendektomi spesmenlerinde nadir de olsa karşılaşılmaktadır. Akut apandisit etiyo patogenezinde EV rolünün değerlendirilmesini amaçladık. Gereç ve yöntem: 2010 ocak-2020 eylül tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde akut apandisit nedeni ile ameliyat edilen hastaların dosyaları elektronik ortamda retrospektif olarak incelendi. Apendiks lümeninde EV tespit edilen hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bulgular: Akut apandisit nedeni ile ameliyat edilen 4767 hastanın verilerine ulaşıldı. Patolojik inceleme sonucunda 13 hastada apendiks lümeninde EV tespit edildi. Demografik bilgiler; ortalama yaş 32,3 (±7.95)yıl, 9 hasta kadın, 4 hasta erkek, 10 hasta açık cerrahi, 3 hasta laparoskopik cerrahi ile ameliyat edildiği tespit edildi. Sonuç: Akut apandisit ayırıcı tanısında EV düşünülmelidir. Akut apandisit ile EV birlikteliğinde ek görüntüleme yöntemleri ve alvarado skorlama sistemleri ile tanı desteklenmelidir. Elde edilecek bilgiler ile medikal olarak tedavi edilebilecek hastalara gereksiz cerrahi uygulamaların önüne geçilebilir. EV akut apandisit nedeni olabileceği unutulmamalıdır
