Spontaneous scrotal faecal fistula: A rare complication of incarcerated inguinal hernia in infancy
Sowande OA, Adejuyigbe O, Ogundoyin OO, Uba AF, Chinda JY
Abstract
Spontaneous scrotal faecal fistula is a rare complication of incarcerated inguino-scrotal hernia in the neonate and infants. Only five previous cases have been reported in the English medical literature. We report another case of a 28-day-old neonate, who presented with fecal fistula following prolonged incarceration of a right inguino-scrotal hernia. The etiology and management of this rare complication is discussed.
Keywords
