摘要
Stump appendicitis is a rare condition in which the diagnosis is often delayed and is eventually reached during exploratory surgery. Knowledge of stump appendicitis makes it possible to reach the diagnosis using imaging techniques and thereby reduce the morbidity of this condition. We present the case of a patient with appendicitis of the appendicular stump that was diagnosed prior to surgery using plain-film radiography and abdominal CT.
