    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Pregnancy can mask typical appendicitis symptoms.
    • Acute appendicitis in pregnancy poses risks to both mother and fetus, including premature delivery.

    Observation:

    • A 32-year-old pregnant woman presented with reduced fetal movements.
    • A cesarean section revealed a phlegmonic appendix in an asymptomatic patient.
    • Appendectomy was performed after uterine closure.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination confirmed acute appendicitis.
    • This case highlights appendicitis in pregnancy without typical symptoms.

    Implications:

    • Routine peritoneal cavity inspection during cesarean sections is crucial.
    • Early detection of appendicitis in pregnant women is vital to prevent complications.
