A rare case of appendicitis caused by a screw in the appendix of a 4-year-old boy was successfully treated with appendectomy. Early surgical intervention is crucial for foreign body appendicitis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Appendicitis, commonly caused by infection or obstruction, typically presents with abdominal pain.
  • Foreign body ingestion is a known cause of gastrointestinal complications, particularly in children.

Observation:

  • A 4-year-old boy presented with symptoms suggestive of appendicitis.
  • Imaging revealed a foreign object, identified as a screw, within the appendix.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent an appendectomy to remove the foreign body.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the screw as the cause of appendicitis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering foreign bodies in the differential diagnosis of appendicitis in pediatric patients.
