Acute appendicitis is a highly common cause of abdominal pain that presents with nausea and vomiting, characteristic physical exam findings, and imaging evidence of appendiceal inflammation. In the absence of these signs, diagnosis can be difficult. This case report demonstrates an uncommon presentation of appendicitis that led to a delay in diagnosis and aims to discuss the ways in which similar misdiagnoses can be avoided for clinicians in the future.
急性阑尾炎是引起腹痛的常见原因，常伴有恶心、呕吐，具有典型的体格检查结果及阑尾炎症的影像学证据。若缺乏这些体征，诊断会很困难。本病例报告展示了阑尾炎一种不常见的表现形式，这种表现导致了诊断延误，旨在探讨未来临床医生可避免类似误诊的方法。
