Faecolith impaction leading to caecal perforation is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain in children. We present a case of an 11-year-old boy who was admitted to our department with a perforated caecum caused by faecolith impaction. Histology demonstrated a normal appendix with ganglion cells present. No mechanism of action could be detected for the faecolith impaction. This is a previously unreported cause of caecal perforation in children.
粪石嵌顿导致盲肠穿孔是儿童急性腹痛的罕见原因。我们报告一例11岁男孩因粪石嵌顿导致盲肠穿孔入住我科。组织学检查显示阑尾正常，有神经节细胞。未检测到粪石嵌顿的作用机制。这是儿童盲肠穿孔以前未报道过的原因。
