Özet

We present a rare image where an acutely inflammed appendix entered and perforated the terminal ileum. This became a presentable rare image after we converted a laparoscopic attempt to do appendisectomy in this patient in an open surgery. The patient was managed by simple appendisectomy without burying the stump and closing the ileal perforation after freshening the margins in two layers using 3-0 Polyglactin.
