Cecal diverticulitis is a relatively rare problem in the Western world. It is often clinically indistinguishable from acute appendicitis.
We present a case of a young woman who was suspected to have acute appendicitis prior to operation. At operation an unexpected and suspicious cecal mass was found and the procedure was revised to a right hemicolectomy. Subsequent histological examination revealed an acutely inflamed solitary, congenital diverticulum of the cecum.
We would like to highlight this uncommon condition to ensure that its first encounter is not in the operating theatre. The varied and controversial management options are briefly discussed.
在西方世界，盲肠憩室炎是一个相对罕见的问题。它在临床上常常与急性阑尾炎难以区分。
我们呈现了一例年轻女性病例，该患者在手术前被怀疑患有急性阑尾炎。手术中发现了一个意外且可疑的盲肠肿物，于是手术改为右半结肠切除术。随后的组织学检查显示为一个急性发炎的孤立性先天性盲肠憩室。
我们希望强调这种不常见的病症，以确保其首次被发现不是在手术室。本文简要讨论了各种存在争议的治疗选择。
