INTRODUCTION
Torsion of the vermiform appendix is a rare disorder, which causes abdominal symptoms indistinguishable from acute appendicitis and is found by chance during the laparotomy.
CASE PRESENTATION
We report a case (a 76-year-old male) suffering of torsion of the vermiform appendix with fecalith. It was twisted 540 degrees in an anti-clockwise direction. Appendectomy was done.
CONCLUSION
Appendiceal torsion may be assocated with the presence of fecalith. This case is the oldest one among the patients with appendiceal torsion reported to literature.
引言

病例报告
我们报告一例（一名76岁男性）患有阑尾扭转并伴有粪石的病例。阑尾逆时针扭转了540度。已行阑尾切除术。
结论
阑尾扭转可能与粪石的存在有关。该病例是文献报道的阑尾扭转患者中年龄最大的一例。
