    Author: Prutovykh NN, Marchenko VT, Afana'sev VN.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1989 Nov; (11):14-6. PubMed ID: 2615260.
    Abstract:
    The results of operations on 6 newborn infants for destructive appendicitis are analysed. It is pointed out that the diagnosis of acute appendicitis is made with great difficulties because there are no typical signs of the disease and complications that develop rapidly: diffuse peritonitis or formation of an appendicular abscess. Examples of the management of patients with a complicated course of acute destructive appendicitis are given.
