Neonatal perforated Amyand's hernia presenting as an enterocutaneous scrotal fistula (original) (raw)

Abstract

Perforation of the vermiform appendix in a septic neonate with an Amyand's hernia resulted in the formation of a scrotal enterocutaneous fistula. In conclusion from this exceptional complication, active parental awareness for any neonatal scrotal swelling is required, and an early operative policy for the neonatal inguinal hernia is significant.
