Taeniasis remains a major burden in low-income countries in Asia. We present a case of intestinal perforation caused by adult tapeworm of Taenia in a 50-year-old Nepali male. The patients presented to the hospital with severe abdominal pain and intermittent vomiting. Following clinical presentations and imaging features, gastrointestinal perforation was suspected. Surgical removal of adult tapeworm of Taenia, suspected to be T. saginata or T. asiatica, was carried out during exploratory laparotomy, which was followed by an uneventful postoperative period. In addition to case presentation, we systematically review published case reports on taeniasis-related intestinal perforation. A learning point from this case is clinician should maintain a clinical suspicion of taeniasis as a possible cause of intestinal perforation in endemic areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/11795476211072670","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,2]],"date-time":"2022-02-02T07:05:56Z","timestamp":1643785556000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Intestinal Perforation Due to Adult Tapeworm of\n                    <i>Taenia<\/i>\n                    : A Case Report and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0692-1786","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raju","family":"Bhandari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and GI Surgery, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Institute of Medicine, Kathmandu, Nepal"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Male, Maldives"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajan","family":"Chamlagain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Institute of Medicine, Kathmandu, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8852-5770","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edward","family":"Sutanto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Buffalo, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hammad","family":"Adam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and GI Surgery, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Institute of Medicine, Kathmandu, Nepal"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Male, Maldives"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anil","family":"Dhungana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Male, Maldives"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aishnath Azna","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Male, Maldives"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bimochan","family":"Piya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Male, Maldives"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdulla","family":"Ubaid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Male, Maldives"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Neumayr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, Basel, Switzerland"},{"name":"University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland"},{"name":"Public Health and Tropical Medicine, College of Public Health, Medical and Veterinary Sciences, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-11795476211072670","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/bs.apar.2019.12.004"},{"key":"bibr2-11795476211072670","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
