摘要：

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.
