Abstract
: Acute appendicitis is one of the common surgical emergencies performed by general surgeons. The abnormal position of the appendix may cause a diagnostic dilemma for the treating surgeon. A high index of suspicion along with radio imaging can prevent the delay in the diagnosis and the associated complications of the disease. We report a case series of sub-hepatic appendicitis managed at two different institutions in North-East India and advocate surgical management as the modality of treatment for this condition.Keywords
