Appendicular diverticulosis, a rare condition, often presents silently. This case highlights its co-occurrence with acute appendicitis, complicating diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Appendicular diverticulosis is an uncommon condition characterized by the presence of diverticula in the appendix.
  • It often remains asymptomatic, leading to delayed diagnosis, typically identified during investigations for complications such as diverticulitis or perforation.

Observation:

  • A 44-year-old male presented with right iliac fossa pain, clinically suspected to be acute appendicitis.
  • Intraoperative findings revealed coexisting appendicitis and appendicular diverticulosis.

Findings:

  • The study identified appendicular diverticulosis in a patient presenting with symptoms mimicking acute appendicitis.
  • This highlights the potential for appendicular diverticulosis to manifest concurrently with acute appendicitis, challenging preoperative diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of appendicular diverticulosis is crucial for appropriate management and preventing complications.
  • Increased awareness among clinicians regarding the silent presentation of appendicular diverticulosis, especially when co-occurring with appendicitis, is warranted.
