Torsion of the vermiform appendix is a rare disorder that causes symptoms similar to those of acute appendicitis. Primary and secondary causes of appendiceal torsion have been reported in the literature. Laparoscopy appears to be the most appropriate modality for diagnosis and treatment where the condition is suspected. To our knowledge this is the first case of appendiceal torsion in an adult causing right upper quadrant pain related to caecal malposition.
阑尾扭转是一种罕见的疾病,其症状与急性阑尾炎相似。文献中已报道了阑尾扭转的原发性和继发性病因。在怀疑存在这种情况时,腹腔镜检查似乎是诊断和治疗的最合适方式。据我们所知,这是首例成年患者因盲肠位置异常导致右上腹疼痛的阑尾扭转病例。
