A 34-year-old male living in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, complained of lower abdominal pain. Ileus was suspected based on his clinical history and symptoms, and a laparotomy was performed. Four sections of a nematode were found in a large eosinophilic granuloma in the intestinal wall, and were identified as the larva of a spiruroid nematode. This is the third reported case of a spiruroid nematode infection found in the ileum.
