Acute appendicitis (AA) is a common surgical emergency. Accurate and timely diagnosis of AA is essential for successful outcome. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis, exclusion of AA as well as diagnosing alternative clinical conditions which can closely simulate AA. A correct alterative diagnosis may obviate the need of unnecessary appendectomy or may even change the treatment regime altogether. This pictorial essay illustrates various clinical conditions which mimicked AA clinically during our day to day practice.
急性阑尾炎（AA）是一种常见的外科急症。准确及时地诊断AA对于取得成功的治疗结果至关重要。影像学在AA的诊断、排除以及诊断可能与AA极为相似的其他临床病症方面发挥着重要作用。正确的鉴别诊断可以避免不必要的阑尾切除术，甚至可能完全改变治疗方案。这篇图文并茂的文章展示了我们日常临床实践中临床上酷似AA的各种病症。
