abstract: Appendicovesical fistulae are rare. Only 112 cases in all ages have been reported previously in the world literature. Our case is that of a 1-year-old boy who presented during the neonatal period with missed appendiceal perforation associated with a long segment Hirschsprung's disease. The case is discussed.
