Abstract:
A report is given in a case of appendicitis after delivery in childbed. This was the third case of appendicitis within 17 657 deliveries in the gestation of the district hospital in Sangerhausen in the period from 1960 to 1975. The chronic relapsed appendicitis produced a paralytic Ileus. By using correspondent measures (infusional therapy, appendectomy, adhesion solutions) the patient could be cured without any complications. The patient feeled a Douglas-touch of pain that extended especially to the right. This was the only symptom that was noticed by the patient besides the Ileus that had been clinical well defined and secured with the help of x-ray photo.
