  • Title: Acute appendicitis after a blunt perineal trauma: an illustrative case.
    Author: Amir A, Amir L, Waisman Y.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2009 Mar; 25(3):184-5. PubMed ID: 19287277.
    Abstract:
    Acute appendicitis after abdominal trauma, although rare, has been described in the past. We herein report, for the first time, a case of acute appendicitis after a blunt trauma to the perineum in a boy. Clinicians taking care of children with injuries to the abdomen or perineal area should be aware of the possibility that they can develop posttraumatic acute appendicitis.
