  • Title: Acute appendicitis in preschool age children.
    Author: Graham JM, Pokorny WJ, Harberg FJ.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1980 Feb; 139(2):247-50. PubMed ID: 7356110.
    Abstract:
    Appendicitis in preschool children is not uncommon. A duration of greater than 40 hours usually implied perforation. The most common findings were abdominal pain, tenderness, temperature elevation and vomiting. In the presence of perforation or abscess formation, appendectomy followed by copious wound irrigation, abscess drainage and delayed secondary wound closure is the procedure of choice.
