Apendicite aguda pós colonoscopia: desafio diagnóstico e tratamento minimamente invasivo - relato de caso / Case report - post-colonoscopy acute appendicitis: diagnostic challenge and minimally invasive treatment

ABSTRACT

We present a case of a 54-year-old man with abdominal pain four hours after colonoscopy and upper endoscopy. Since he had had a polipectomy and an ulcer was seen in the terminal ileum, the diagnosis of appendicitis was even more difficult. The authors discuss the rarity of this situation and the minimally invasive approach to treat appendicitis.
