Abstract :
This is a prospective study conducted on 425 patients of 11 to 30 years age group with clinically suspected appendicitis. All the patients were evaluated on ultrasonography (USG). Out of 425 patients, in 136 cases (32% patients ), the ultrasound (US) diagnosis was other than appendicitis like mesenteric adenitis, ileitis and colitis, right ureteric stone and ovarian cyst etc. in whom the appendix was normal. Thus, Clinical diagnosis based on symptomatology alone is not sufficient to make or confirm the diagnosis of the appendicitis, thus necessitating the need to be subjected for USG for the confirmation of the diagnosis.
