    Author: Yeh D, Moyles K, Ekwenna O, Thompson WR, Neville HL, Sola JE.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2009 Dec; 25(12):856-8. PubMed ID: 20016358.
    Abstract:
    We report a child with the unusual presentation of spontaneous vaginal drainage of a pelvic abscess after nonoperative management of perforated appendicitis. Although drainage through the rectum has been previously described, this is the first report of spontaneous transvaginal drainage of a pelvic abscess from appendicitis in a child.
