Abstract: | Appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies in children. In the USA, there are 70,000 cases are diagnosed each year. Acute appendicitis is a rare case, barely considered in the diagnoses, and probably causes acute abdominal sepsis in neonates. It affects males generally 75% of the time and 25%-50% of all reported cases occur in premature infant. Almost 50 cases have been reported over the last 30 years. We reported a 5 month-old baby girl whom transferred to our hospital from a peripheral hospital. Previously, the baby diagnosis was low-type obstruction. At the time of admission to our hospital, the baby presented with a history of abdominal distension and did not pass stools after 48 h. Oxygen and oral gastric tube were administered. Exploratory laparotomy surgery was performed through a transverse incision. This report is a retrospective review of one patient with appendicitis perforation presented in our hospital |
