Abstract

Acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of abdominal surgery emergencies worldwide. We presented the case of a 25-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with acute appendicitis after applying to the emergency department due to severe abdominal pain. The patient had Type 1 von Willebrand disease (vWD), and we treated her with conservative treatment without appendectomy. Conservative treatment is an alternative treatment method for acute appendicitis. In selected patients, it can be treated with appropriate antibiotics instead of appendectomy.

Özet

Akut apandisit (AA), acil servislere başvuran her yaş grubundaki hastalarda akut karın ağrısının en sık nedenidir. Çalışmamızda şiddetli karın ağrısı nedeniyle acil servise başvurduktan sonra akut apandisit tanısı konulan 25 yaşında kadın hasta olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık. Hastanın Tip 1 von Willebrand hastalığı (vWH) olduğundan hastaya apendektomi yapılmadan konservatif olarak tedavi ettik. Konservatif tedavi akut apandisitte alternatif bir tedavi şeklidir ve uygun olan hastalarda apendektomi yerine antibiyoterapi ile tedavi edilebilir.
