ABSTRACT

Background. Ascaridiasis is one of the main parasitosis affecting children. The main objective is to demonstrate the case of a child with erratic migration of Ascaris lumbricoides found next to the testis in the vaginalis tunic secondary to a perforation of Meckel diverticulum.
Case report. We present the case of a school-age male patient who was treated at our clinic due to acute abdomen. Laparotomy was carried out, revealing a perforation of Meckel diverticulum with Ascaris lumbricoides free in the abdominal cavity and with migration to scrotum of female adult Ascaris lumbricoides by way of an inguinal hernia.
Conclusions. We discuss the epidemiology and clinical presentation of acute abdomen of Ascaridiasis and intraoperative study.
