[A case of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense identified by virtual enterography and virtual enteroscopy].

In October 2007, a woman in her early 30s presented, complaining of worm discharge in her stool. We identified it as Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense, and identified it by virtual enterography and virtual enteroscopy. It was treated by 1500 mg/day praziquantel orally. We think these methods, of pathology as well as capsule enteroscopy and enteroscopy, are useful for the searching of the small intestinal lesions. We hope these examinations will become more widespread with reference to these cases.
