Abstract
|
|
|
|
Appendicitis has always been considered a clinical diagnosis wherein the surgeon’s clinical acumen andlaboratory investigations take priority over the radiological imaging. However, an atypical presentationof appendicitis can occur due to the varying location of the appendix which may result in delayeddiagnosis and complications. In such cases radiological imaging such as contrast enhanced computerizedtomography helps in the diagnosis. We report two cases of subhepatic appendicitis with different clinicalfindings.
