Perforated appendicitis. ct. The appendix displays a thickened wall and a distended lumen, along with intraluminal and intramural gas foci and a focal wall defect indicating gangrenous perforated appendicitis. Regional peritoneal fat edema is noted along with minor free peritoneal fluid and few peritoneal gas foci. Incidental left adrenal nodule.
Laboratory results, RLQ tenderness, and US findings are congruent with appendicitis. The wall changes and surrounding fluid suggest necrosis/gangrene and presage perforation. An urgent operation was performed which found: perforated appendicitis.
2 cze 2024 · When the appendix is perforated (i.e., ruptured), many people expect to see a straightforward, well-defined perforation with air and fluid outside of the appendix. While that may be the case with some patients, there is a spectrum of different presentations we can see from early perforation to later perforation.
If appendicitis is allowed to progress, portions of the appendiceal wall eventually become ischemic or necrotic [1, 59] and the appendix perforates. On CT, perforation is suggested by the presence of localized periappendiceal inflammation, although this is a nonspecific finding.
1 wrz 2020 · Perforation: Paradoxically, at a more advanced stage appendiceal dilatation can cause thinning of the appendiceal wall associated with possibly transmural ulcers and focal or diffuse necrosis, leading to porosity.
Perforation is noted in the distal appendix. Base and proximal segments, as well as tip, appear normal. There is a periappendiceal collection, inflamed fat, and adherent small bowel loops.
