“…Other imaging options such as plain radiographs and ultrasound did not appear to assist in further management. 4,6,12,16,22,24,27,28,33,39,43,44 The diagnosis of appendicitis was established during colonoscopy in three cases. [51][52][53] Characteristically, the endoscopic findings of these cases demonstrated pus exudating from the appendiceal orifice.…”

“…6,24 Given that there will always be a concern about bowel injury/perforation that necessitate bowel resection, it is pertinent to explain to the patient before surgery. A few centers 9,11,16,18,19,22,27,[37][38][39]42 have attempted conservative management with intravenous antibiotics, but only half of them were successfully treated without requiring subsequent surgery. 11,18,22,37,38 Benatta reported success with endoscopic Post-colonoscopy appendicitis drainage of appendiceal pus on a re-look colonoscopy.…”

“…Acute appendicitis after colonoscopy is a very rare complication.

Vender, et al 5) reported on three cases that occurred at two institutions where a total of about 8000 colonoscopic examinations were performed.…”

A 48-year-old woman who was without any abnormal past medical history underwent colonoscopy as a screening procedure for colorectal disease. The procedure was uneventful and there was no sign of inflammation around the appendicular orifice or the luminal surface of the cecum. The patient did not complain of pain or significant discomfort throughout the procedure. She then developed pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen that evening and this persisted for four days. She visited the outpatient department and underwent abdominal ultrasonography, which showed a swollen appendix with a collection of pericecal fluid. Surgical exploration and appendectomy were performed; the final diagnosis was acute suppurative appendicitis. Colonoscopists should be aware of this rare complication and consider it when making the differential diagnosis of post-colonoscopy abdominal pain.

“…Although rare, various complications of EMR, including hemorrhage and perforation, have been reported. Acute appendicitis also is a rare complication of diagnostic colonoscopy and therapeutic procedures including EMR, but it can be potentially lethal if not diagnosed promptly and treated correctly [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. In this article we describe two cases of acute appendicitis as a complication after EMR for adenomas located adjacent to the orifice of the appendix.…”
