Abstract
We report a case of left-sided perforated acute appendicitis in the patient with midgut malrotation. Embryology, clinical findings, and radiological presentation are discussed. Highly prevalent disease presents here in the unusual location and thus in the unusual presentation. The emergency room physician and radiologist should be aware of these unique clinical presentations so that appropriate surgical intervention may be initiated promptly.Entities:
