Abstract
- Intestinal hemorrhage, perforation, obstruction, and fistula formation are the common complications associated with intestinal tuberculosis. However, these complications usually occurr in active stage of intestinal tuberculosis. A 45-year-old man was diagnosed as intestinal tuberculosis and received anti-tuberculosis medications for 9 months. After the end of treatment, intestinal lesion was cured. However a deformed appendiceal orifice due to hypertrophic sear resulting in symptomatic appendictis was noted. We report a case of acute appendicitis due to intestinal stricture after the successful treatment of intestinal tuberculosis.
