“…They also reported that the absence of secondary signs and non‐visualisation of the appendix had a high NPV, and conversely that the presence of secondary signs alone was a strong positive predictor of appendicitis. Reliance on secondary signs however has also been associated with a high number of false positives 4. Estey et al53 and more recently Ross et al54 confirmed the PPV of secondary signs, yet their absence did not permit reliable exclusion of appendicitis.…”

“…During 2013–2014 in Australia, almost 29,000 appendicectomies were performed, comprising approximately 10% of all emergency surgery 1. Since the 1980s, ultrasound has been commonly used to diagnose appendicitis with a range of reported sensitivities (71.2–99%) and specificities (91.3–98.2%) 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. There is currently some debate about the best imaging modality or combination of modalities to accurately and cost‐effectively diagnose the condition.…”

Konstipasyon, devamında kusma vetipik ishalden daha ziyade sık ve az miktarda yumuşak kıvamlı gaita görülebilir Ultrasonografinin deneyimli radyologlarca yapılması durumunda tanıdaki duyarlılık ve özgüllüğünün %90-95'e kadar çıkabilece-ği bildirilmektedir 13,16 .

“…11,23 Cabe ainda ressaltar que cerca de um terço das pessoas portadoras de apendicite aguda são submetidas à intervenção cirúrgica com diagnóstico pré-operatório incerto. A morbidade e mortalidade da apendicite aguda decorrem quase que exclusivamente da perfuração, relatada na literatura em proporções que variam entre 23% e 73%.…”

“…Nesse sentido, o sinal radiográfico contribuiu para essa condição favorável, pois em vários casos a sua presença foi decisiva para indicar-se a operação corretamente. 23,24,27 Poucos estudos na literatura relataram não haver vantagens no estudo radiográfico do abdome na rotina propedêutica da apendicite aguda. 28,29 Entretanto, nenhum deles se ateve ao estudo de pacientes apenas com dor abdominal na FID.…”
