ABSTRACT
Abdominal pain is a common symptom in pregnancy. Its etiology is diverse and diagnosis often poses a problem. Inflammatory disorders of extra-uterine origin such as appendicitis should always be considered as a possible cause. Three cases of appendicitis complicating pregnancy managed at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Barbados during the year 1993 are documented. Two presented in the antenatal period and the third postpartum. The clinical manifestations and the difficulties encountered in diagnosis are emphasised.
