Appendicitis (Pediatric)

Figure 9 : Acute appendicitis with multiple appendicoliths. Multidetector CT (MDCT) in a 5-year-old boy with lower abdominal pain shows a markedly dilated (1.78-cm) appendix, which at first might suggest a loop of bowel.

Imaging

Large appendicolith may obstruct appendiceal lumen; several appendicoliths may be present more distally (Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12)
