Sonographic appearance of appendicitis in a neutropenic pediatric patient after inversion appendectomy.

The technique of inversion-ligation appendectomy is used by some surgeons to eliminate the risk of peritoneal contamination as the result of incidental appendectomy during an otherwise clean surgical procedure. In most cases, the intussuscepted appendix necroses and sloughs into the cecum after several days. We present the first report of the ultrasonographic appearance of a retained, inflamed appendix, which occurred in a neutropenic pediatric patient 15 months after inversion appendectomy. Our case illustrates the importance of a complete surgical history for the interpretation of abnormal sonographic findings of the cecum.

Gastroenterological causes of pelvic pain.

Chronic pelvic pain is a common condition, which accounts for up to 10% of gynecological consultations and for over a third of diagnostic laparoscopies. In addition to gynecological etiologies for the pelvic pain, the physician must also consider gastroenterological, urological, and neurological disease as a possible basis for the pain. This article discusses the major gastroenterological causes of pelvic pain.
