CT imaging features of jejunal ascariasis: a teaching case

Eurorad teaching case demonstrates the CT appearance of jejunal ascariasis, showing a tubular, non-enhancing worm within the small bowel lumen. Recognition of this characteristic finding aids in diagnosing Ascaris lumbricoides infection.

• Single teaching case; no patient cohort or statistical analysis.
• Key CT feature: elongated, tubular structure without contrast enhancement, located in the jejunum.
• Limited generalizability due to rarity of condition and single-case nature.
