Background: Appendiceal diverticulosis disease is a rare entity. An perforated appendiceal diverticulosis mimicking acute appendicitis is a extremely unusual surgical finding and the reported prevalence is between 0.014 and 3.7%.
Case Report: We report the case of an elderly man, who presented with a typical clinical image of acute appendicitis and underwent laparoscopic surgery. Intraoperative an acute appendicitis with localized peritonitis was identified and a laparoscopic appendectomy was performed, but pathologic analysis demonstrated a type 2 appendiceal diverticulitis.
Conclusion: Appendiceal diverticulosis disease should be included in differential diagnosis of patients presenting with clinical signs of an acute appendicitis and prompt surgical treatment is essential in order to avoid severe complications.

Missed Opportunity for Initial Diagnosis in Children With Complex Appendicitis.
Pediatr Emerg Care
December 2024
From the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH.
Objectives: Delayed diagnosis of acute appendicitis in children may result in complex appendicitis with appendiceal perforation. Delayed diagnosis can result from missed opportunity for initial diagnosis (MOID) despite medical attention. Studies report MOID of less than 5% in pediatric emergency departments (EDs), but we hypothesized that many MOID occurs outside tertiary care facilities.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Suining Central Hospital, Suining, Sichuan Province, China.
Objective: To examine the correlation between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels at hospital admission and the length of stay (LOS) in pediatric patients with appendicitis who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy.
Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinical data from pediatric patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis and treated with laparoscopic appendectomy. Multivariate generalized linear regression analyses were performed to determine the independent relationship between CRP and LOS.
