AB Anisakiasis, a zoonotic disease that can lead to small intestine obstruction, has seen asignificant rise in Spain. The country has become the first in Europe with an annual incidence of8000 cases, primarily due to the popularity of consuming exotic dishes of undercooked or raw fishand the impact of climate change. The clinical presentation of anisakiasis can mimic symptomsof acute appendicitis or intestinal obstruction, leading to potential misdiagnosis. This case reportdescribes a 37-year-old patient with no significant medical history who presented abdominal distension and intense pain in the right lower quadrant. The patient underwent surgery and receivedphysiotherapy treatment, including therapeutic exercises and pulsed-pressure myofascial vacuumtherapy, to facilitate functional recovery. The increasing incidence of anisakiasis in Spain underscoresthe need to consider it in the differential diagnosis of digestive diseases, given the high consumptionof poorly prepared or raw fish in the region.
