Introduction: intestinal obstruction due to Ascaris lumbricoides represents a serious complication in children from endemic regions, with significant repercussions on global public health due to its high prevalence and potential morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the present study has focused on investigating and analyzing the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of intestinal obstruction due to Ascaris lumbricoides in pediatric patients. In order to improve early detection, effective treatment and preventive measures in endemic areas. Method: a systematic review of relevant clinical and epidemiological studies published in scientific databases was carried out, incorporating multicriteria analysis methods such as Saaty’s AHP and COPRAS to evaluate the impact and weight of the risks in the study. Results: the use of methods such as Saaty’s AHP and COPRAS underlined the need for hygiene education and maintenance of sanitary conditions. So that it highlights the central role in the effectiveness of the implemented strategies. Furthermore, computed axial tomography was confirmed as an effective diagnostic method to identify intestinal obstruction due to parasites, while albendazole demonstrated high efficacy in resolving intestinal obstruction and eliminating the parasite. Conclusions: combined strategies of antiparasitic treatment and hygiene education constitute the key to reducing the incidence and complications of Ascaris lumbricoides in children. Adapted public health policies are even required to promote regular deworming and adequate hygiene practices
