    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Neonatal appendicitis is a rare condition with high morbidity and mortality.
    • Classic appendicitis signs are often absent in neonates, complicating diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A case of neonatal appendicitis presented with right flank edema and abdominal wall cellulitis.
    • Associated findings included hematuria, proteinuria, and right abdominal wall thickening.

    Findings:

    • These clinical and laboratory findings suggest retrocecal appendicitis.
    • Prompt surgical intervention is indicated when these signs are present in neonates.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis and timely surgical exploration can potentially decrease the 80% mortality rate associated with neonatal appendicitis.
    • Increased awareness of atypical presentations is vital for improving outcomes in neonates.
