Core Tip	Intestinal ascariasis usually remains asymptomatic until the number of worms in the intestine considerably increases. A single worm of Ascaris can enter the ampulla of Vater and result in biliary colic. Ileus caused by a single worm is rare. Moreover, the diagnosis of intestinal ascariasis might not be considered as a cause of symptoms suggesting ileus because ascariasis is rare in developed countries. This is the report of a child who presented with bilious vomiting caused by a single worm of Ascaris lumbricoides. Pediatricians in developed country need to be aware that Ascaris infection can cause bilious vomiting.
