Our case was pre-diagnosed with appendicitis but during the
surgery it was seen that the patient had cecal diverticulum perforation.
Further, as the dissection continued appendicitis with retrocecal
subserous localization was identified. The goal of our study is to
underline the possibility that appendicitis in a rare localization can be
overlooked in patients diagnosed with simultaneous cecal diverticulum
complications. Although cecal diverticulum is a rare lesion, there
are some difficulties regarding its diagnosis and treatment since
its symptoms are similar to acute appendicitis when there is a
complication. It can hardly be differentiated from acute appendicitis
through physical examination and radiological imagining methods are
mostly insufficient. Therefore, patients are generally diagnosed intraoperatively.
Acute appendicitis is one of the most frequent causes of
acute abdomen. Appendectomy, too, is the most frequently performed
surgery among intraabdominal emergency surgical procedures. A
good anamnesis and a careful and sufficient physical examination
are very significant in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Alongside
these, various laboratory and imaging techniques can be utilized.
Although the appendix can be seen in different localizations, the
retrocecal site is one of the rare localizations among all. In patients
presenting to the emergency departments with complaints of right
lower quadrant pain, many diseases, led by appendicitis, based
on the patient’s age and sex should be taken into consideration.
The possibility that these diseases may co-exist should always be
remembered and, therefore, intra-operational exploration should be
performed thoroughly.
