Article Synopsis
- Diverticulitis can lead to fistulas, often causing serious health issues, with this case focusing on a rare colo-salpingeal fistula presenting unusual symptoms like vaginal flatulence.
- A 63-year-old woman with persistent diverticulitis experienced vaginal flatulence, which was linked to a colo-salpingeal fistula diagnosed through CT imaging and managed with surgery.
- The case emphasizes the need for awareness of uncommon gynecologic symptoms tied to diverticular disease and advocates for a collaborative medical approach for effective diagnosis and treatment.
Appendicitis classically presents in a young adult as periumbilical pain localizing to the right lower quadrant as a result of an obstruction of the appendiceal orifice from lymphoid hyperplasia, fecalith, or infection.

Rarely, this obstruction occurs secondary to neoplastic growth, such as colonic adenocarcinoma.
