    Author: Hatch EI.
    Journal: Pediatr Clin North Am; 1985 Oct; 32(5):1151-64. PubMed ID: 3897984.
    Abstract:
    Evaluation of abdominal pain in children poses a major challenge for the pediatrician and pediatric surgeon alike. Simple appendicitis remains one of the most difficult diagnoses in children. There has been an alarming increase in the incidence of perforated appendicitis, and professional delay has been found to be a factor in this increased rate. Therefore, this discussion focuses on appendicitis and its differential diagnosis.
