Abstract

Acute appendicitis after abdominal trauma, although rare, has been described in the past. We herein report, for the first time, a case of acute appendicitis after a blunt trauma to the perineum in a boy. Clinicians taking care of children with injuries to the abdomen or perineal area should be aware of the possibility that they can develop posttraumatic acute appendicitis.
