Abstract
Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency in the pediatric population [1]. Complications are seen in 30 to 40% of cases, and include perforated, gangrenous, intra-abdominal abscess and peritonitis [1]. The rate of perforated appendicitis is higher in children compared to adults and varies from 30% to 74% [2]. We report a case of perforated appendicitis preoperatively complicated by multiple intra-abdominal abscesses.
