SPONTANEOUS FECAL FISTULA IN A HIV PATIENT: A RARE PRESENTATION OF INGUINAL HERNIA

Congenital inguinal hernia is a common condition encountered in surgical practice. We report a case of scrotal Enterocutaneous fistula, a rare complication of incarcerated hernia in an HIV patient due to late presentation, neglect and lack of proper management. This case report highlights the need for an early and accurate diagnosis followed by prompt treatment of groin swellings. The presentation of congenital inguinal hernia in this form in adults also reflects state of health care in developing countries.
