- Abstract
Acute appendicitis is the most common general surgery emergency in the whole world. Parasitic appendicitis is rarely seen among all appendicitis, although it is more common in endemic regions. An 18-year-old patient with complaint of abdominal pain underwent emergency surgery and appendectomy with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Pathological examination was reported as 'parasitic appendicitis caused by Ascaris Lumbricoides'. We believe that early diagnosis and treatment of parasitic infections will be effective in preventing possible mortality and morbidity due to surgical procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
