  • Title: Cecal diverticulitis mimicking appendicitis on ultrasonography.
    Author: Downey DB, Wilson SR, Hall KE.
    Journal: Can Assoc Radiol J; 1991 Aug; 42(4):291-3. PubMed ID: 1884263.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a case of acute cecal diverticulitis in which the ultrasonographic features, as well as the clinical features, mimicked those of acute appendicitis. Though rare, acute cecal diverticulitis is an important differential diagnosis when ultrasonographic features suggest acute appendicitis, because the condition can be managed initially without surgery.
