[Acute abdominal syndromes and anisakiasis. A new case (author's transl)].

Abstract

To the list of the well known parasitic diseases which are expressed by acute abdominal syndromes and which need laparotomy, we may now add the anisakiasis. At the end of a complex cycle, the ingestion of herring can infected man : frequently the parasite is fixed at the level of the stomach, or of the ileum and seldom at the level of the bowel. Its presence gives rise to pain, hemorragy, tumor or occlusion in relation with the parietal granuloma. From one personal case the authors analyse the originality of this parasitic disease, the difficulty of its diagnosis before surgical time and its good prognosis.
