ABSTRACT
The authors report their experience of two cases of acute ileitis with an obstructive complication due to "Ascaris lumbricoides". The distinctive features were, in the first case, the pathogenic mechanism responsible of the occlusion, and in the second one, the need of a long term follow-up. The latter, especially in the "aspecific forms", often allows an etiological diagnosis difficult even at laparotomy. Indicating the most frequent causes of surgical complications found in ileitis, which is a medical disease easily curable by medical and dietetic means, the authors confirm the difficulties of an etiological diagnosis and surgical treatment, increased by the rarity of the disease.
