[Neonatal appendicitis. Presentation of three cases (author's transl)].

Authors present three patients with acute appendicitis developed during the first month of life. Up to 1975 they found only 106 cases described in the Spanish, French and English literature. The rarity of this pathology together with extreme difficulty in clinical and radiological diagnosis, usually produces a delay of treatment with logical increase of mortality. Their three patients were operated through laparotomy and one through right herniography. None of them had intestinal aganglionosis.
