Appendiks İntussussepsiyonu: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Appendiks intussussepsiyonu nadir görülen ve semptomlarının apandisite olan benzerliği nedeniyle hem klinik hem de radyolojik olarak preoperatif tanısı oldukça güç olan bir durumdur. Burada akut batın bulguları ile başvuran tanı ve tedavi sonrasında appendiks intussussepsiyonu olarak değerlendirilen olguyu bildirdik. Diagnostik görüntüleme yöntemleri gelişmiş olsa da bazen preoperatif dönemde tanı koymada yardımcı olmamaktadırlar. Bu yüzden doktorlar akut batın ile başvuran hastalarda akut apandisit, tümör ve ek olarak intussussepsiyonu alternatif tanı olarak düşünmeleri önerilir.

This article reports a case of appendiceal intussusception who was presented as acute abdomen. Although diagnostic imaging was improved, sometimes preoperative findings are not enough helpful for the diagnosis. Therefore doctors should consider alternative diagnosis such as appendicitis, tumor in addition to intussusception at acute abdomen .
