RESUMO
We report one case of acute abdomen after the ingestion of raw or undercooked fish containing nematode larvae of the genus Anisakis. Early diagnosis is very important as it could prevent unnecessary surgical procedures since the symptoms of intestinal anisakiasis may mimic other illnesses such as appendicitis, ileitis or peritonitis. We suggest that anisakiasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with acute abdomen.
