  • Title: Neonatal pyoscrotum and perforated appendicitis.
    Author: Iuchtman M, Kirshon M, Feldman M.
    Journal: J Perinatol; 1999; 19(7):536-7. PubMed ID: 10685308.
    Abstract:
    Neonatal appendicitis is so unusual that is has been considered nonexistent. We present the case of a 6 day old male with acute scrotal swelling who was found to have a perforated appendicitis inside a hernia sac. A literature review supports the impression that neonatal appendicitis is rare; however, when it occurs inside a hernia sac, it has a good prognosis.
