Acute appendicitis in a premature baby

Acta Chirurgica Scandinavica

|January 1, 1979

Summary

A premature infant experienced acute appendicitis with perforation, the smallest reported case. Despite initial surgical success, the infant later died from sepsis linked to hyperalimentation.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Surgery
Neonatal Medicine
Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

Acute appendicitis with perforation is a rare but serious condition in neonates.
Premature infants present unique challenges for surgical management due to their small size and immature organ systems.
