ABSTRACT

Acute appendicitis is the most common acute surgical condition; making appendectomy the most commonly performed emergency surgical procedure in the world. Anomalies of the appendix are relatively uncommon. However, their presence may alter the course of diagnosis and the surgical treatment provided with post operative management. We hereby present the case of a 15 year-old male who had the symptoms of acute appendicitis like pain vomiting and temperature. He was then undergone for emergency open appendectomy. During the procedure, the findings of a 8.5 cm long appendix was noted. The base of the appendix was attached to the caecum with fibrous strands; however there was complete mucosal discontinuity between the base and the remaining portion of the appendix. Considering the rarity of this finding we feel this could be congenital atressia.

Keywords: post operative During the procedure, atressia.
