Clin Case Rep. 2022 Feb 10;10(2):e05445. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5445. eCollection 2022 Feb.

Abstract

Colonic anisakiasis is rare because most cases of anisakiasis occur in the stomach. An accurate diagnosis is sometimes difficult because of the rarity and symptom nonspecificity. We should consider the possibility of colonic anisakiasis when examining patients who have a history of consuming raw fish.
