Özet

Diseases of the appendix are the most common causes of an acute abdomen. Among them, torsion of the vermiform appendix is a rare disorder. Clinical manifestations of torsioned appendix vermiformis are indistinguishable from acute appendicitis and it is usually diagnosed during the operation. Primary and secondary torsion are recognized in the appendiceal torsion. Torsion of the appendix may occur at any age, but it is less common in children in the literature. Here, we report a case of secondary torsion of the vermiform appendix with fecalith impaction and review the literature on appendiceal torsion.
