The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 08/28/09
Pai HJ et al. – The authors present a new case of a 46–year–old man who complained of abdominal pain and progressive abdominal distension for 4 days and oliguria for 1 day. In the Emergency Department, his abdomen was markedly distended and showed peritoneal signs. Emergency laparotomy revealed that the appendix was gangrenous and perforated, with local abscess formation but no bowel infarction. Hence, only appendectomy was performed, with subsequent uneventful patient recovery.
