Acute Appendicitis Ultrasound

Appendicitis is a common disease in each period of
life. Most frequently, appendicitis occurs in children
and adolescents. Histologically serous, phlegmoneous, ulcerous and perforated forms are differentiated. These forms usually reveal thickening and
enlargement of the tubular organ, whereas chronic
or neurogenic forms do not alter the size of the
appendix; therefore, neither can usually be diagnosed by imaging.
acute appendicitis. Important signs for acute appendicitis are pain at the Mc Burney’s point, axillary
rectal difference of the temperature. In laboratory
testing, signs of acute inflammation are present. The
C-reactive protein (CRP) is usually elevated, and leucocytosis is often present. Clinical evaluation usually gives significant hints for pathology in the right
lower quadrant; however, specificity in diagnosing
acute appendicitis is limited. Of all surgically treated
appendices, 30–50% do not reveal acute appendicitis
at histology. The accuracy in clinical evaluation of
acute appendicitis is especially low in young women
