title: Ileo-abdominal wall fistula caused by diverticulum of the ileum.
abstract: We report a very rare case of ileo-abdominal fistula caused by penetration of the ileal diverticulum. Small bowel diverticulosis is generally considered to be an innocuous condition. In this report, we describe a case of ileal diverticulitis associated with an abdominal wall abscess.
