  • Title: [Diverticulitis of the appendix: a rare cause of acute abdomen].
    Author: Tommasi GV, Barabino M, Casolino V, Morelli N, Vassallo S, Mondello R, Guasone F, Valente U.
    Journal: G Chir; 1993 Jul; 14(6):299-300. PubMed ID: 8398620.
    Abstract:
    Diverticulosis of the vermiform appendix, either single or multiple, congenital or acquired, is rather infrequent and usually asymptomatic. However, it may be complicated by flogosis configuring an acute abdomen hardly recognizable from an acute appendicitis not related to the diverticular disease. The Authors report a case of acute appendicular diverticulitis surgically treated. A brief review of the literature is also reported.
