| Core Tip |
Enteric anisakiasis is difficult to diagnose due to a lack of definitive criteria, and there is currently no curative treatment. This case report describes two important clinical suggestions: (1) Abdominal computed tomography (CT) is useful for the diagnosis of enteric anisakiasis; and (2) Gastrografin administration is a safe, convenient, and useful therapy. In the case of intestinal anisakiasis, CT scan showed submucosal edema of the intestine with proximal dilatation and ascites. We performed ileography using Gastrografin to extract enteric Anisakis larvae after placing an ileus tube, which led to shortened hospital stay. |
