title: A patient with an unusual complication of sliding inguinal hernia: Stercoral appendiceal fistula.
abstract: An unusual case of sliding inguinal hernia complicated by stercoral appendicular fistula as a result of acute appendicitis was reported in a 3-month-old boy. A diagnosis was made using barium enema. Elective appendectomy and narrowing of the internal ring using a purse-string suture were carried out safely via a right transverse infraumblical incision. Postoperative follow-up was uneventful.
