Background: Ascaris lumbricoides is a nematode that causes ascariasis, localized in the human small intestine in most cases. Intestinal obstruction is an acute presentation that occurs in cases where clumps of worms form, causing partial or complete obstruction of the intestinal lumen. Worms that cause intestinal disorders in children are common at 1–14 years of age. Ascariasis is a rare cause of bowel obstruction. The aim of this study was to describe cases of Ascariasis that cause intestinal obstruction in children aged 7 years and over Indonesia which was treated with surgery. Case Presentation: We report a case of ascariasis in a 7-year-old girl with total intestinal obstruction. She came to the hospital accompanied by her family with the main complaint being stomach pain. She was managed with exploratory laparotomy and enterotomy to remove the worm masses which causes intestinal obstruction. Conclusions: The prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides is very common in developing countries. Although the majority of the intestinal obstruction that they cause may be treated conservatively, in some circumstances, surgery may be required.
