dc.description.abstractTaenia saginata is a parasitic infectious agent of the cestode class, which is transmitted to humans by the raw consumption of beef containing the larvae of Cysticercus bovis. Although the infection is usually asymptomatic in humans, it can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and swelling in the abdomen. Chronic constipation, according to the Rome IV classification criteria, is a gastroenterological condition characterized by straining during defecation, infrequent defecation, and a sense of incomplete rectal emptying persisting for at least six months. This case report aims to highlight the concurrent infestation of Taenia saginata and the improvement in constipation symptoms after treatment in a patient who had been presenting to our outpatient clinic with chronic constipation for four years.en_US
