Gas in the vermiform appendix (pneumoappendix) is uncommon and its diagnostic value is unclear. This case report details a dilated pneumoappendix observed post-inversion-ligation appendectomy, explaining the radiographic findings.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Pneumoappendix, or gas within the vermiform appendix, is an infrequent radiographic finding.
  • The diagnostic significance of pneumoappendix remains poorly understood in current radiologic literature.

Observation:

  • This case report presents a previously undocumented observation of a dilated pneumoappendix.
  • The finding was identified on a postoperative plain abdominal radiograph.

Findings:

  • The dilated pneumoappendix was observed following an inversion-ligation appendectomy.
  • The study includes a review of the surgical technique to elucidate the cause of the radiographic finding.

Implications:

  • This report contributes to understanding the radiographic appearance of the appendix after specific surgical interventions.
