    This report details the first case of acute appendicitis during pregnancy in Zambia. Prompt surgical intervention led to a positive outcome for both mother and baby, despite premature labor.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Acute appendicitis is a rare surgical emergency during pregnancy.
    • Accurate diagnosis can be challenging due to overlapping symptoms with other obstetric and gynecological conditions.

    Observation:

    • A pregnant patient in Zambia presented with symptoms mimicking urinary tract infection and concealed accidental hemorrhage.
    • Diagnostic difficulties were encountered in differentiating these conditions from acute appendicitis.

    Findings:

    • Emergency appendicectomy was successfully performed.
    • The patient experienced premature labor but delivered a healthy neonate weighing 2,100g.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering acute appendicitis in pregnant patients with abdominal pain in resource-limited settings.
