Abstract
Gastrointestinal bleeding can be caused by a variety of pathologies. Primary aortoappendicular fistula is rare and, in our case, arose in addition to a chronic contained rupture sac of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Clinical diagnosis is difficult. Aortic aneurysmorrhaphy along with extensive debridement and emphasis on antibiotic therapy is curative.
