“…Tip appendicitis is rare. Statistics say only approximately 5% of pathologically confirmed cases involve the tip.1 Recently, Leung et al [6] retrospectively reviewed all diagnostic US and CT imaging reports and found that tip appendicitis is proven and confirmed by CT if the US is suspicious. Among 55 patients with imaging proven to have tip appendicitis in their study, 21 patients were indicated for surgery because of their progressive clinical presentation and imaging findings.…”

“…Broad nationwide research should be considered to collect further evidence on whether an intravenous antibiotic is applicable in mild appendicitis. In addition, due to the high negative appendectomy rate in pediatrics, surgeries could be delayed in this population until children show classical clinical features of acute appendicitis [6]. Based on the Cochrane database and meta-analysis, appendectomy is still the key to successful management in full-blown acute appendicitis [9].…”

“…Гострий апендицит є найчастішою причиною виникнення гострого абдомінального болю у дітей, що вимагає хірургічного втручання. Візуалізаційні методи обстеження є важливим компонентом підвищення точності діагностики гострого апендициту, зменшення кількості невиправданих апендектомій та запобігання зростанню частоти перфорацій [13].…”

“…The typical MDCT (Multidetector Computed Tomography) findings in acute appendicitis are appendicular dilatation, increased wall thickness, signs of peri-appendicular inflammation and the presence of an faecolith [2]. [4,5]. Although rare, acute tip (or distal) appendicitis is more frequently diagnosed following the widespread adoption of CT imaging.…”
