Abstract

Agenesis
of the appendix vermiformis is quite rare. Its incidence is approximately 1 in
100.000 cases and is a condition that is encountered incidentally in cases
suspected to be appendicitis. Here, a case of a 24 year-old woman with agenesis
of appendix vermiformis who was taken to the operating room with the diagnosis
of acute abdomen is presented.
