A rare case of hypotrophic double appendix, a condition with fewer than 80 reported instances, was documented. This report discusses its classification and potential causes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Appendiceal duplication is an exceptionally rare congenital anomaly.
  • Fewer than 80 documented cases exist in the medical literature.
  • Understanding the classification and etiology of appendiceal duplication is crucial for diagnosis.

Observation:

  • This report details a specific case of hypotrophic double appendix.
  • The observed condition presented with inflammation, indicating acute appendicitis.
  • The double appendix exhibited hypoplasia, suggesting underdeveloped structures.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the challenges in diagnosing rare congenital anomalies.
  • Classification of appendiceal duplication requires careful anatomical consideration.
