Background:
The effect of perforated appendicitis on the adnexa is an issue of concern and controversy. Long-term fertility studies have been conflicting.
Case:
We present the case of a patient with chronic pelvic infections, salpingitis, and hydrosalpinx after perforated appendicitis.
Summary And Conclusion:
Magnetic resonance imaging was helpful in diagnosing a chronically obstructed fallopian tube, likely secondary to the dense adhesions from her previously treated perforated appendicitis. Salpingectomy relieved her symptoms of chronic pain and recurrent infections.
