Appendicitis has always been considered a clinical diagnosis wherein the surgeon’s clinical acumen and laboratory investigations take priority over the radiological imaging.

In such cases radiological imaging such as contrast enhanced computerized tomography helps in the diagnosis. We report two cases of subhepatic appendicitis with different clinical findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
