IBANEZ, Adriana E. et al. Acute appendicitis at the onset of labor. A Case Report. Rev. cient. cienc. salud [online]. 2023, vol.5, e5206.  Epub 30-Ago-2023. ISSN 2664-2891.  https://doi.org/10.53732/rccsalud/2023.e5206.

Acute appendicitis is the sequence of inflammation, perforation, abscess formation and peritonitis, most frequently caused by obstruction of the appendicular lumen. Appendicitis is the most frequent non-obstetric surgical pathology in pregnancy. Its incidence can be variable and occurs with a greater proportion during the first and second trimester of pregnancy. The case of a 34-year-old patient with 36 weeks of gestation is presented. Surgical acute abdomen and possible complicated acute appendicitis are diagnosed. In the operating room, the diagnosis of acute appendicitis was confirmed, revealing an appendiceal plastron and favorable evolution. During pregnancy, the diagnosis of appendicitis is difficult due to the anatomical and physiological changes that occur, so we emphasize the importance of describing this condition during pregnancy.

Palavras-chave : appendicitis; pregnancy; acute abdomen.
