  • Title: Neonatal appendiceal perforation and Hirschsprung's disease.
    Author: Arliss J, Holgersen LO.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1990 Jun; 25(6):694-5. PubMed ID: 2359011.
    Abstract:
    The case of a boy infant with neonatal appendiceal perforation who presented at 9 years of age with Hirschsprung's disease is reported. A retrospective review of the microscopic sections of the appendix demonstrated periappendicitis without transmural inflammation. The importance of differentiating between true appendicitis and periappendicitis in a neonate with appendiceal perforation is stressed, in order to avoid a missed diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease.
