The country has become the first in Europe with an annual incidence of 8000 cases, primarily due to the popularity of consuming exotic dishes of undercooked or raw fish and the impact of climate change. The clinical presentation of anisakiasis can mimic symptoms of acute appendicitis or intestinal obstruction, leading to potential misdiagnosis. This case report describes a 37-year-old patient with no significant medical history who presented abdominal distension and intense pain in the right lower quadrant. The patient underwent surgery and received physiotherapy treatment, including therapeutic exercises and pulsed-pressure myofascial vacuum therapy, to facilitate functional recovery. The increasing incidence of anisakiasis in Spain underscores the need to consider it in the differential diagnosis of digestive diseases, given the high consumption of poorly prepared or raw fish in the region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12134470","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,4]],"date-time":"2023-07-04T01:42:47Z","timestamp":1688434967000},"page":"4470","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Intestinal Obstruction for Anisakiasis: Surgical and Physical Therapy Treatment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Fernando","family":"C\u00f3zar-Bernal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Servicio de Cirug\u00eda Tor\u00e1cica, Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena, 41009 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7881-8684","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"G\u00f3ngora-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing and Physiotherapy, University of C\u00e1diz, 11009 C\u00e1diz, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Osuna School University, University of Sevilla, 41640 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carmen","family":"Ayala-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School, University of C\u00e1diz, 11003 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4267-9958","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco Javier","family":"Mart\u00edn-Vega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing and Physiotherapy, University of C\u00e1diz, 11009 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4589-4442","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Jesus","family":"Vinolo-Gil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing and Physiotherapy, University of C\u00e1diz, 11009 C\u00e1diz, Spain"},{"name":"Rehabilitation Clinical Management Unit, Interlevels-Intercenters Hospital Puerta del Mar, Hospital Puerto Real, Cadiz Bay-La Janda Health District, 11006 Cadiz, Spain"},{"name":"Biomedical Research and Innovation Institute of Cadiz (INiBICA), Research Unit, Puerta del Mar University Hospital, University of Cadiz, 11009 Cadiz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0921-8263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Huguet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing and Physiotherapy, University of C\u00e1diz, 11009 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"95","DOI":"10.1080\/01652176.2022.2080298","article-title":"Zoonotic Diseases of Fish and Their Prevention and Control","volume":"42","author":"Ziarati","year":"2022","journal-title":"Vet.
