Zusammenfassung
Bei Patienten mit Zustand nach Appendektomie wird eine Stumpfappendizitis häufig nicht in Betracht gezogen. Wir berichten über den ungewöhnlichen Fall einer Stumpfappendizitis im rechten oberen Quadranten nach vorangegangener Operation wegen einer Invagination mit Begleitappendektomie. Die abdominale Computertomografie (CT) ist für eine frühe Diagnose der Stumpfappendizitis effizienter, um weitere Komplikationen und einen verlängerten Krankenhausaufenthalt zu verhindern.
Abstract
Stump appendicitis is often not considered in patients with a surgical history of appendectomy. We report an unusual case of right upper quadrant stump appendicitis after previous operation for intussusception with incidental appendectomy. Abdominal computed tomographic scan is more efficient to make an early diagnosis of stump appendicitis to prevent further complications and prolonged hospitalization.
