    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Appendiceal fixation to adjacent organs is common.
    • Fixation to cavitary organs leading to fistulae is rare.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of appendiculo-colic fistula developed secondary to inflammatory processes.
    • This specific fistula presentation has not been previously documented in medical literature.

    Findings:

    • The patient presented with an appendiculo-colic fistula.
    • Surgical intervention included appendicectomy and bipolar closure of the appendiceal stumps.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of appendiceal fistula complications.
    • Highlights the importance of considering rare fistulous tracts in appendicitis management.
