Chiropractors must consider non-mechanical causes, like appendicitis, not just mechanical issues, for abdominal pain. A missed appendicitis diagnosis led to a patient requiring a hemicolonectomy, highlighting the need for broad differential diagnoses.

Area of Science:

Medical Case Reports
Differential Diagnosis
Gastroenterology

Background:

Appendicitis affects over 250,000 individuals annually in the US.
Less than 50% of appendicitis cases present with classic right lower quadrant pain, fever, and nausea.
Delayed diagnosis and treatment of appendicitis significantly increase the risk of severe complications, including rupture, infection, and mortality.

Keywords:
