The patient, residing in Pusan, was a 42-year-old housewife, who complained of severe epigastric pain and recalled that the symptom suddenly attacked her about 6 hours after eating raw Sebastes inermis.

The nematode was 29. 73 x 0.94 mm in size, had an intestinal cecum reaching over mid-level of the ventriculus and was identified as the 4th stage larva of P. decipiens.
