Human anisakiasis is a
disease caused by an infestation of the third stage
larvae of
family anisakidae. The ingested
larvae invade the gastrointestinal wall, causing clinical symptoms that include
abdomen pain,
nausea, and
vomiting. Although enteric
anisakiasis is extremely rare, it can induce
intestinal obstruction. We
report a case in which
emergency surgery was needed due to
intestinal obstruction that coincided with symptoms related to
anisakiasis, along with a brief
literature review.
