Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Amongst various causes responsible for the obstruction of digestive tract, intestinal ascariasis is certainly one of the least frequent.
CASE OUTLINE: 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.
CONCLUSION: 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.
