Abstract

ENSUNCHO, Cesar; OSORIO, Carlos; MARRUGO, Ángela  and  HERRERA, Francisco. Partial intestinal obstruction caused by appendiceal mucocele with proximal ileum fistula. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2016, vol.31, n.1, pp.61-64. ISSN 2011-7582.

The clinical manifestations of an appendiceal mucocele are nonspecific. The vast majority are associated with the complications of intrabdominal rupture causing an acute abdomen, while the spectrum associated with extrinsic compression of adjacent organic structures is exceptional. We present the case of a partial bowel obstruction syndrome caused by an appendiceal mucocele fistulized to the proximal ileum.

Keywords : appendiceal neoplasms; mucocele; digestive system fistula; intestinal obstruction.
