    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Context:

    • Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency in children.
    • Diagnosis in very young children (up to 3 years) can be challenging due to atypical presentations.
    • High mortality rates underscore the severity of the condition in this age group.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the clinical presentation of acute appendicitis in children up to 3 years old.
    • To highlight diagnostic difficulties encountered in this pediatric population.
    • To report the mortality rate associated with acute appendicitis in this cohort.

    Summary:

    • A study observed 92 children aged 3 years and under undergoing surgery for acute appendicitis.
    • The clinical features were documented, and diagnostic challenges were identified.

  • A significant mortality rate of 15.2% was recorded in the studied pediatric group.

    • Impact:

    • Findings emphasize the critical need for heightened clinical suspicion and advanced diagnostic approaches in young children with suspected appendicitis.
    • The high mortality rate highlights the urgency for prompt surgical intervention and improved patient management strategies.
    • This research contributes to understanding appendicitis epidemiology and outcomes in the vulnerable under-three age group.
