Fizik muayenesinde sağ iliak  fossa hassasiyeti mevcuttu, laboratuar tetkiklerinde lökositoz saptanmadı. Laparoskopik apendektomi uygulanan hastanın yapılan patolojik incelemesi appendiks lümeninde E. vermicularis varlığını gösterdi. Bu çalışmamızda apandisitin nadir nedenlerinden olan E. vermicularis’in neden olduğu bir akut apandisit olgusu sunulmuştur
