Objectives: The main goal of this study is to determine the hospital frequency of appendicular abscess, to describe the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects and to analyze the postoperative follow-up. Methodology: This was a descriptive and analytical prospective study from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 including patients admitted to our department for appendicular abscess diagnosed pre-and or intraoperatively and confirmed to histology. Results: We collected 30 appendicular abscesses that accounted for 18.75% of emergency interventions. The 16 -25 age group was the most represented at 53%. The average age was 24 years with extremes of 10 and 58 years. The male sex was mostly represented (60%) with a sex ratio of 1.5. The majority of our patients were students (53.3%). The main clinical signs found were abdominal pain and vomiting (100%). The pain was localized in the Right Iliac Fossa (RIF) in 80% of cases. Fever was present in all our patients with a temperature between 38˚C and 38.5˚C. The physical examination found pain with defense of the right iliac fossa in 93.3% of cases. A painful mass was present in 27 patients (90%). Treatment consisted of appendectomy with abscess drainage in all patients. Postoperative follow-up was simple in 83.3% of cases; we recorded three cases (10%) of parietal suppuration, one case of fistula (3.3%) and one death. Conclusion: Appendicular abscess is a medical-surgical emergency frequent surgery in our context because of the delay in diagnosis.

In biology a complete blood count (CBC) performed in all our patients has objectified hyper leukocytosis in 80% of cases. The reactive protein (CRP) performed in 36 patients was elevated with values between 18 and 46 mg/ml. The imaging performed was an abdominal ultrasound that found a roundel image of the appendix with increased size in 65%. Surgical treatment consisted of classical Mac Burney appendectomy in 54 patients (90%). The gesture performed was an appendectomy in all our patients.
