Taenia Induced Ileal Perforation and Peritonitis – a Case Report

چکیده
Taeniasolium induced ileal perforation is an unusual case of acute abdomen with confusing and non-specific clinical picture. This is a very common parasite in Tropical areas of the world, where pig rearing and unhygienic environment persists. The parasite causes diseases, Taeniasis (intestine) and Cysticercosis (Nervous System), which may result in variable outcomes. We present here a case report of TaeniasoliumPeritonii with multiple ileal perforations treated by resection and anastomoses.
