Brief Summary
Appendicitis is the most common abdominal disease requiring surgery in children. The risk of developing appendicitis during a lifetime is reported to be 8.7% for boys and 6.7% for girls. Despite its high incidence, there are still diagnostic difficulties. The overall negative appendectomy rate among all children is suggested to be 8.4%, but in children under 6 years of age, the rate has been reported to be as high as 56.7% . The diagnosis of acute appendicitis is considered to be especially challenging in children due to difficulties in communication and examination.
