Doğum Sonrası Akut Apendisit

28 yaşında, gravida 1 para 1, kadın, pelvik ağrı ve aralıklı ateş ile obstetrik bölümüne başvurdu. Vücut ısısı 38.9 ° C idi. Fizik muayenede yaygın abdominal duyarlılık ve rebound gözlendi. C-Reaktif Protein 31.1 mg / dl'ye yükselmiş ve beyaz kan hücre sayısı 11,000 / mm 3 olarak saptandı. Apendiksin çapı bilgisayarlı tomografide yaklaşık 8.1 cm olarak ölçüldü. Tanı amaçlı laparoskopi yapıldı ve akut apandisit nedeniyle apendektomi yapıldı. Postpartum apandisit çok nadir görülen bir durumdur ve literatürde sadece birkaç olgu bildirilmiştir, ancak ayırıcı tanıda akut apandisit akılda tutulmalıdır.
