Abstract: The association of Enterobius vermicularis and appendicitis were recognized in the late XIXe century, when an incidence of 19% of appendicular infestation in children with appendicitis was reported. Other studies showed that the relationship between this parasitosis and appendicitis varied from 0.2 to 41.8 worldwid. In this paper we present an adult patient with acute appendicitis caused by Enterobius Vermicularis discovered in per-surgical procedure, and we’re going to discuss on the bases of the literature the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of the appendicular localization of oxyurosis.
