We report the clinical and endoscopic manifestations in a patient with acute abdominal pain caused by the accidental ingestion of a Latoia consocia (Walker) larva. Clinical data including the patient’s medical history, and the results of physical examination, laboratory tests, and gastroscopy were collected. Based on this rare case, we discuss the clinical characteristics and manifestations, diagnostic methods, and principles of this disease.
