“…Though the classical presentation is pain abdomen and vomiting; further investigations are required to come to a preoperative diagnosis. [3][4][5][6][7][8] There is delay in the initial presentation of intestinal obstruction cases due to various reasons. Due to these delays in initial presentation patients would have been dehydrated or complications would have set in.…”

“…Queste differenze riflettono le difficoltà diagnostiche nei pazienti anziani, nelle giovani donne e nei bambini, in cui il quadro clinico può essere atipico e simulare altre patologie [1]. In questi casi, la diagnosi errata o tardiva è legata non solo alla presentazione clinico-laboratoristica atipica, ma anche alle varianti anatomiche di sede dell'appendice [21]. Pertanto, in tali forme, il ricorso a metodiche di imaging come l'US e la TC consente una maggiore percentuale di diagnosi corrette e riduce il tasso di mortalità [4,6,7,12,22].…”

SummaryAcute appendicitis is a very common problem in well developed countries. There seems to be a dietary influence involved but this has not been proven. The most common cause of acute appendicitis is blockage of the inside of the appendix by a fecalith (stool or fecal stone). History and physical examination and blood work results are usually enough to correctly make the diagnosis. X-ray tests such as ultrasound, CT scans or MRI may help in confirming the diagnosis. The treatment of choice is surgical removal of the irritated appendix, which can be safely done by an open or a laparoscopic technique. AbstractAcute appendicitis is a very common disease where the appendix becomes blocked, and leads to irritation and infection. When the appendix becomes irritated the patient can feel belly pain. The belly pain is first felt near the belly button and after a while it can move to the right lower area of the belly. The pain may go along with a loss of wanting to eat, nausea and vomiting. Many things can block the appendix opening leading to loss of blood supply and appendicitis. This includes waste produced from the food we eat, inflamed lymph nodes around the appendix or a growth in the appendix. Treatment is usually surgery to remove the appendix (appendectomy) as well as antibiotics given through a vein. The diagnosis is usually made by talking to and examining the patient and checking with different types of tests. Surgery works well in most patients who have appendicitis. The risk of having a problem or complication is low. Surgery to remove the appendix may be safely done with an open technique with a larger incision (laparotomy) or using small incisions and a camera (laparoscopic). They both have small short term and long term risks.
