Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Appendiceal mucocele is a rare clinical entity. It can be caused by benign or malignant diseases resulting in obstruction of the appendix and consequent intraluminal accumulation of mucus secretions. Mostly it is discovered accidentally presenting as acute appendicitis. Appendiceal intussusception into the caecum associated with mucocele of the appendix is a rare cause of abdominal pain and interestingly difficult to diagnose. However, other possible differential diagnoses should be kept in mind. A 71 year-old male presented to emergency department with mild pain in right lower quadrant of abdomen for 15 days with mild tenderness in right iliac fossa on examination. On further investigation and work up, a diagnosis of mucocele of appendix was obtained. Subsequently, elective open appendicectomy was performed. Intraoperatively, it was found to be mucocele of appendix with intussusception into the caecum (appendicocolic). Open appendicectomy with reduction of appendicocolic intussusception was done. Postoperative HPE confirmed the diagnosis. Patient recovered well with uneventful hospital stay. The patient is still on regular follow-up till date.
