    Abstract:
    This paper analyses the experience of the Paediatric Surgery Department from the Emergency Hospital in Craiova regarding the clinical and therapeutical evaluation of 55 cases with appendicular plastron admitted in our department between 1997-2006. We analyse both the evolution and the complications in managing these cases, together with particular aspects of differential diagnosis related to this group of age. These 55 cases were children aged between 2 and 15 years with a 15 days average hospitalization period. Applying a standard treatment we had favorable results in 85% of cases with 15% cases underwent surgical treatment from the first admission. Comparative to a study realised in our dept. between 1975-1996, which registered 30 cases with a mortality of 6.70%, the present one revealed in the latest years an important increase of the number of appendicular plastron with a significant low mortality.
