Description
Summary:Teniarynchosis (taeniasis) is a helminthiasis with chronic course, predominant lesion of the upper gastrointestinal tract and active release of segments. The causative agent of taeniasis is Taenia saginata. This disease is widespread, although endemic countries are Africa, Australia, South America and Asia. Cases of teniarynchosis are rare in surgical practice. We present a patient who admitted with blunt abdominal injury and isolated wound of small. After laparotomy, we found alive bovine tapeworm that entered into abdominal cavity through the wound in small intestine. The parasite was removed with subsequent intestinal wall repair. The patient was discharged. Thus, teniarynchosis can cause urgent surgical diseases or their complications, especially in endemic areas.
