Abstract

The increasing use of sonography for evaluating acute abdomen has brought greater recognition of appendicular abnormalities. We present an incidental finding of an appendiceal diverticulum during a sonographic examination of a 4‐year‐old child with acute appendicitis. Abdominal sonography showed an enlarged, swollen appendix with a diam‐eter of 1.1 cm and a small, fingerlike lateral projection approximately 2.0 cm from its tip. The specimen, re‐sected during an appendectomy, was 5.5 cm long and 1.0 cm in diameter and had a 0.3‐cm outpouching. Microscopic examination revealed a pseudodiverticulum composed of mucosa and muscularis mucosa. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 30:45–47, 2002.
