Abstract
We describe three cases that presented with symptoms suggestive of appendicitis but were found at operation to have an inflamed solitary caecal diverticulum. All were treated successfully with diverticulectomy or inversion of the diverticulum. We wish to highlight this diagnosis and its surgical management so that informed decisions can be made if this is first encountered in the operating theatre.Entities:
