Periappendicitis, inflammation of the appendix, can occur due to various causes. This case report details a rare instance of periappendicitis developing after an elective cesarean section, potentially due to amniotic fluid exposure.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Periappendicitis is a known diagnosis with diverse etiologies.
  • Literature review revealed no documented cases of periappendicitis secondary to amniotic fluid exposure during elective cesarean sections.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with appendicitis symptoms five days post-elective cesarean section.
  • Pathological examination confirmed periappendicitis.

Findings:

  • The case suggests a potential link between amniotic fluid entering the peritoneum during cesarean delivery and the subsequent development of periappendicitis.
  • This represents a novel proposed etiology for periappendicitis.

Implications:

  • Highlights a rare complication of cesarean sections.
