“…This probably indicates the need for a consensus on the lesions that should be considered abnormal in these situations. Panchaligam et al [9] described a case related to a worm infestation; in our experience, this is usually a cause of acute appendicitis [24].…”

“…Diagnosing and managing chronic pain in the RLQA is especially difficult in low‐income settings because of limited technical background, and particularly because of the absence of laparoscopic facilities. Other known endemic pathologies such as colonic amebiasis involving the cecum and helminthiasis will make the diagnosis even more complicated [24]. There is then a need to define a special diagnostic algorithm for the management of chronic pain in the RLQA.…”

“…Although clinical management of acute amebic appendix has been described. Due to morbidity and mortality rates associated with acute amebic particularly when surgery is delayed and as appendectomy removes the focus of infection it should be considered the treatment of choice [2, 8]. As it was done in our patient.…”

Acute appendicitis is one of the most common abdominal emergencies, even though most cases of appendicitis will be due to obstruction of the appendiceal lumen, in rare occasions and mostly due to poor sanitary conditions a parasitic infection may cause appendicitis. Entamoeba histolytica is a common parasite and has a broad clinical spectrum from an asymptomatic disease to a life-threatening condition. In rare occasions, trophozoites can invade the appendiceal wall causing appendicitis. Preoperative diagnosis of acute amebic appendicitis is usually difficult, yet surgical treatment as in non-amebic appendicitis is the treatment of choice. However, due to the increased rate of postoperative complications associated with acute amebic appendicitis, a course of nitroimidazoles, and increased awareness in basic sanitary measures is usually recommended. We present a case of a 29-year-old woman, she presented with abdominal pain and appendicitis was suspected. After successful surgery, pathology confirmed acute amebic appendicitis.

“…Bien que le scanner abdominal ne soit pas l'examen de choix pour le diagnostic de l'ascaridiase, il peut parfois visualiser les ascaris adultes dans l'intestin [ 3 ]. Le traitement de l'obstruction intestinale par paquet d'ascaris est généralement chirurgical mais, en l'absence de signes de péritonite, un traitement médical associant perfusion intraveineuse, antibiothérapie, administration de sels de Pipérazine par une sonde nasogastrique, lavement à la glycérine et à l'huile de paraffine peut donner de bons résultats et ce, même en cas d'obstruction complète [ 6 , 9 ]. Le volvulus du grêle sur paquet d'ascaris impose une laparotomie.…”

Nous rapportons un cas exceptionnel de volvulus nécrosé de l'intestin grêle dû à des ascaris adultes chez un enfant de 7 ans. A l'admission, l'enfant présentait le tableau d'occlusion intestinale qui évoluait depuis deux jours avec altération de l'état général. La radiographie de l'abdomen sans préparation retrouvait des niveaux hydroaériques de type grêlique et un aspect tigré évoquant le diagnostic d'une occlusion intestinale haute sur masse abdominale. Après la réanimation, le traitement chirurgical consistait en une laparotomie qui avait retrouvé un volvulus nécrosé de l'iléon terminale contenant des ascaris adultes. Une résection du grêle sur environ un mètre emportant le segment nécrosé suivie d'une iléostomie était réalisée. L'évolution a été favorable, l'anastomose iléo-colique fut réalisée quatre semaines plus tard. Au recul de deux ans l'enfant est indemne de tout symptôme.
