Torsion of an epiploic appendage of vermiform appendix

In what is probably the largest series of appendiceal appendagitis cases, presented in 2006 by I.M. Abdulzhavadov[7] from Russia, an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of appendagitis (see the author’s publication list, e.g., in PubMed), 14 observations were sampled. All patients underwent surgical treatment. Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed in four cases (correct diagnosis was made in two); there were 12 open surgeries that used McBurney’s approach for suspected acute appendicitis.
