Résumé

La bilharziose appendiculaire est une affection rare de diagnostic exclusivement histopathologique. L’appendicectomie doit être suivie d’un traitement à base de praziquantel pour éviter la survenue de complications. Nous rapportons deux cas de bilharzioses appendiculaires tout en discutant la place de cette parasitose dans la genèse de l’appendicite. Enfin, nous recommandons un examen anatomo-pathologique systématique de toute pièce d’appendicectomie pour une meilleure prise en charge des patients.

Abstract

Appendiceal schistosomiasis is a rare disease of only histopathological diagnosis. Appendectomy should be followed by treatment with praziquantel to avoid complications. We report two cases of appendiceal schistosomiasis while chatting instead of this infection in the pathogenesis of appendicitis. Finally we recommend a routine pathological examination of any part of appendectomy for better care for patients.
