  • Title: Chronic appendicitis: does it exist?
    Author: Van Winter JT, Wilkinson JM, Goerss MW, Davis PM.
    Journal: J Fam Pract; 1998 Jun; 46(6):507-9. PubMed ID: 9638116.
    Abstract:
    The typical presentation of acute appendicitis is well known. A few patients, however, have had an atypical clinical course suggestive of recurrent appendiceal inflammation, which has been confirmed by appendectomy. Therefore, in the evaluation of a patient with abdominal pain, a history of similar episodes should not preclude a diagnosis of appendicitis.
