Removal of Appendiceal Fecalith with Colonoscopy

Abstract

It is generally accepted that fecalith is the main reason of acute appendicitis. In this report, we represented a case that established a fecalith in the appendicial lumen at the colonoscopic investigation. Clinical features of the patient have resolved after removal of the appendicular fecalith with colonoscopy. Patient was prevented from probable appendicitis, which will develop, with colonoscopic intervention.
