- Preschool children show unusual symptoms in acute appendicitis, leading to higher misdiagnosis rates and complications.
- In a study of 29 children under 6, younger kids (<48 months) had longer nausea and vomiting, unusual pain patterns, and higher heart rates, while older kids (>48 months) had more typical symptoms.
- Complications like appendicular perforation and longer hospital stays were more common in younger children, emphasizing the importance of recognizing distinct symptoms based on age in appendicitis cases.
