Apandisitin Nadir Bir Nedeni, Apendiks Vermiformis Torsiyonu: Olgu Sunumu ve Literatür Taraması

Abstract

Apandisit, fekalit, lenfoid hiperplazi, paraziter ve viral hastalıklar, yabancı cisim, kistik fibroz ve karsinoid tümör gibi nedenlerle, lumen obstrüksiyonu sonucu gelişen bir patolojidir. Apendiks vermiformisin torsiyonu da apandisite neden olan, literatürde sayılı olgu sunumları ile bildirilmiş, çok nadir görülen bir durumdur. İlk kez 1918 yılında Payne tarafından tarif edilmiştir. Tanı genellikle akut karın nedeniyle operasyon sırasında konur. Burada akut karın ön tanısıyla operasyona alınan ve apendiks vermiformis torsiyonu saptanan olgu literatür taraması ile birilikte sunuldu
