Abstract | A fistulous communication between the appendix and any viscus is rare. Such fistula is most often acquired due to recurrent appendicitis, cystic fibrosis, Crohn's disease, tuberculosis, and malignancy. Here in, we report a rare case of an appendico-ileal fistula incidentally detected during laparotomy for adhesive small bowel obstruction. The fistula was divided, the ileal opening was sutured, and appendectomy was performed. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no evidence of malignancy, tuberculosis, or inflammatory bowel disease on the histopathological examination of the appendix. |
