Acute appendicitis is very rare in the newborn, representing only 0.1%-0.2% of childhood cases. The usual form is intra-abdominal appendicitis with perforation and diffuse peritonitis. It is exceptional to find neonatal acute appendicitis developing inside a patent processus vaginalis. We describe a case of this kind in an 18-day-old infant who survived and is doing well.

Abstract
Acute appendicitis is very rare in the newborn, representing only 0.1%-0.2% of childhood cases. The usual form is intra-abdominal appendicitis with perforation and diffuse peritonitis. It is exceptional to find neonatal acute appendicitis developing inside a patent processus vaginalis. We describe a case of this kind in an 18-day-old infant who survived and is doing well.File in questo prodotto:
