    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Parasitology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Ascariasis lumbricoides is a common human parasitic infection.
    • Gastric involvement is exceptionally rare, with most infections occurring in the small intestine.

    Observation:

    • Three patients presented with chronic intermittent gastric outlet obstruction.
    • Roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides) were identified as the cause of the obstruction within the stomach.

    Findings:

    • Radiology confirmed gastric worms in two patients.
    • Endoscopic examination identified gastric worms in one patient.
    • The study discusses potential reasons for the rarity of gastric ascariasis, including gastric peristalsis and acidity.

    Implications:

    • Highlights a rare presentation of a common parasitic infection.
    • Suggests factors contributing to the low incidence of gastric ascariasis.
    • Informs clinical suspicion for unusual gastrointestinal symptoms in endemic areas.
