Acute abdomen: suspected appendicitis: computed tomography: surprise.

摘要

This 5-year-old girl presented to our urgent care clinic (UCC) with a complaint of right-upper-quadrant abdominal pain and fever. She had no diarrhea but did have 1 episode of vomiting after an attempt was made to have her take some antipyretic medication. Her appetite was normal, and she had good oral intake. She was seen at an outside clinic the day before for fever and some cough. A chest radiograph was obtained and was considered normal (Figs. 1A, B). She was not put on any specific medication except for an antipyretic. Her abdominal pain became worse over the next 24 hours, and that is when she came to our UCC.
