Human anisakiasis, a parasitic infection, can rarely cause severe intestinal obstruction requiring emergency surgery. This case highlights the importance of considering anisakiasis in patients presenting with obstructive symptoms and gastrointestinal distress.
Area of Science:
- Medical Parasitology
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Case Reports
Background:
- Human anisakiasis results from ingesting third-stage larvae of Anisakidae family parasites.
- Clinical manifestations commonly include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting due to larval invasion of the gastrointestinal wall.
- Enteric anisakiasis, while infrequent, poses a risk of inducing intestinal obstruction.
