Fecolith impaction in a duplex vermiform appendix: an unusual presentation of colonic duplication

S A McNeill et al. J Pediatr Surg. 1996 Oct.

Abstract

The authors report a case of colonic duplication associated with urogenital abnormalities, which presented after obstruction of its proximal communication with the intestine. The case is unusual because the proximal communication was via a partial duplication of the appendix, which became obstructed after impaction of a fecolith.
