During evaluation for occult fever or nonspecific abdominal pain CT will occasionally identify inflammatory disease of the appendix as the underlying cause. In these cases CT may also provide useful information about the presence of associated mesenteric inflammation, abscess, or perforation. Five cases are presented in which CT provided clinically useful information supplementing that gained from barium studies and clinical presentation. When a periappendiceal lesion is found, the extent and nature of inflammatory changes are shown directly rather than inferentially.
在对隐匿性发热或非特异性腹痛进行评估时，CT偶尔会发现阑尾炎症性疾病是潜在病因。在这些病例中，CT还可能提供有关是否存在相关肠系膜炎症、脓肿或穿孔的有用信息。本文介绍了5例病例，其中CT提供了补充钡剂检查及临床表现所获信息的临床有用信息。当发现阑尾周围病变时，炎症改变的范围和性质可直接显示而非推断得出。
