Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Acute appendicitis is a common cause of abdominal pain for which prompt diagnosis is rewarded by a marked decrease in morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of acute appendicitis depends mostly on clinical evaluation along with few laboratory tests, but the role of a high resolution real time ultrasonography in diagnosing acute appendicitis is very much commanding as, it has been used to complement the clinical diagnosis. The diagnosis can only be confirmed by histopathological examination of the specimen of resected appendix. Therefore in present study it will be tried to correlate between the ultrasonography findings which will later be confirmed by histopathological findings to establish the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. A retrospective study of 100 cases with high resolution ultrasound & ct scan abdomen & pelvis was carried out in the department of general & laparoscopic surgery, VSS IMSAR, Burla, Odisha 2016 to ascertain the accuracy of diagnosis.
