Abstract :

Presence of appendicitis and pancreatitis in a patient is very rare and whether it is complication of pancreatitis resulting in appendicitis or two separate pathologies, is not known. There is a requirement to study the association between the two. Even the management of the same is not clear. We present a case of acute abdomen which was diagnosed to have both appendicitis and pancreatitis.
