ABSTRACT: Introduction: Appendicitis is the most common
surgical emergency in childhood. It’s a common surgical disease that can be
presented with a wide variety of atypical clinical features. Clinical
Case: We report a case of a 7-year-old female patient admitted for
abdominal pain dating back 20 days, radiological exploration suggested a right
ovarian teratoma, while laparoscopic exploration has objective an appendicular abscess. Conclusion: This case has
allowed us to clarify an atypical case of complicated appendicitis, and also to
show the contribution of laparoscopy.
