    Abstract:
    A series of 52 children with appendiceal abscess is presented. The general policy of treatment was initially conservative regime followed by delayed elective appendectomy.

There were no significant postoperative complications. Delayed elective appendectomy is recommended after an interval of 4-6 weeks.
