Abstract
The typical presentation of acute appendicitis is well known. A few patients, however, have had an atypical clinical course suggestive of recurrent appendiceal inflammation, which has been confirmed by appendectomy. Therefore, in the evaluation of a patient with abdominal pain, a history of similar episodes should not preclude a diagnosis of appendicitis.Entities:
