Strangulation follows incarceration and various incarcerated and strangulated contents having been reported in the sac. The fistulation of the herniated content through the scrotal skin is quite rare with only a few reported cases. We present the case of entero-scrotal fistula in a neonate managed with staged repair along with a brief review of the literature. A 27-days-old, full-term male presented with faecal discharge from the right scrotum. He had no tell-tale signs of obstructed hernia. A faecal fistulous opening was located in the right hemi-scrotum. The terminal ileum was seen as the content with an antimesenteric perforation, divided ileostomy and scrotal debridement was done and later ileo-ascending anastomosis was performed electively. Neonatal hernias should be considered an urgency and we advocate early surgery. The resource-limited setting and poor post-natal surveillance may have added to the worries. In our case, swelling and fistulation occurred in a very brief period of 36 h. We managed the child with a diversion stoma followed by ileo-ascending anastomosis later.<\/jats:p>\n
