Abstract

          Although
acute appendicitis is the most common cause of acute abdomen, acute abdomen due
to appendicular diverticulitis is extremely rare. The frequency of appendicular
diverticulitis varies between 0,004% and 2,1%. General surgery specialists can
easily skip the diagnosis of appendicular diverticulitis. For this reason,
diagnosis can be made mostly after the pathological examination after surgery. In
this presentation, a patient who was operated for acute appendicitis and evaluated
as appendicular diverticulitis on his pathological examination was discussed.

Abstract

          Akut
apandisit, akut batının en sık nedeni olmakla beraber, appendiküler
divertikülite bağlı akut batın tablosu oldukça nadir görülmektedir. Appendiküler
divertikülitin görülme sıklığı %0,004 ile %2,1 arasında değişiklik
göstermektedir. Genel cerrahi uzmanları appendiküler divertikülit tanısını kolaylıkla
atlayabilmektedirler. Bundan dolayı çoğunlukla cerrahi sonrası patolojik
inceleme sonunda tanı konulabilmektedir. Bu sunumda akut apandisit nedeni ile
opere edilen ve patolojik incelemesinde appendiküler divertikülit olarak
değerlendirilen bir olgu tartışılmıştır.
