[Spontaneous stercoral fistula due to oxyurids: apropos of 1 case]. / Fistule stercorale spontanée à oxyures : à propos d'un cas.

A spontaneous stercoral fistula containing pinworms was observed in a patient, 35 years after an appendicectomy. The various surgical complications of oxyuriasis are reviewed, in particular, the possibilities for the parasite to traverse the intestinal wall. In the case reported here, it appears that infiltration occurred in the external wall of the caecum.
