Abstract :
Although complicated acute appendicitis is occasionally observed in general
practice, the diagnosis of appendiceal abscess by colonoscopy is unusual.
We report a case of appendiceal abscess with spontaneous drainage into the
lumen of colon diagnosed during colonoscopy and resolved by the time of
surgery.
