There is no fæcal material present in the proximal two-thirds but in the clubbed tip there is a fæcalith of a hard and pasty consistency, 1 centimeter by 3 millimeters.
1920, Studies from the Laboratories of the Department of Surgery, page 87I think I was misled by the clinical history and did not give enough weight to the lack of deformity of the cæcum, its mobility, and the hardness of the mass: but it must be admitted that the appearances are very like those of intussusception and that fæcaliths in this situation are extremely rare.
1937, Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine, page 48
