Spontaneous scrotal faecal fistula in an infant.

A 2-month-old, full-term male presented with a left scrotal faecal fistula due to spontaneous bursting of an incarcerated inguinal hernia for 8 days, with complete decompression of the small bowel through it. Resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the engaged ileal loop was successfully done after incising the ring via the inguinal approach. Only two such cases have been reported in the world literature to date.
