  • Title: Appendictiis in pregnancy.
    Author: Townsend JM, Greiss FC.
    Journal: South Med J; 1976 Sep; 69(9):1161-3. PubMed ID: 968533.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-nine cases of acute appendicitis during pregnancy are presented, and the recent literature is reviewed. Occurring once in 1,600 gestations, appendicitis carries a pregnancy loss of 10.8%. Difficulties in diagnosis and delays in treatment increase with advancing gestational age. Aggressive management may minimize the resultant maternal morbidity and fetal mortality.
