Abstract

Appendiceal anomalies are extremely rare malformations that are usually found in adult populations as an incidental finding. Agenesis and duplication of the appendix have been well documented, but we know of only three reported cases of a horseshoe appendix. A 64-year-old woman admitted to the emergency department. A provisional diagnosis of acute appendicitis was made, and the patient was taken to the op- erating room. While appendectomy was being performed with a standard approach, the distal tip was seen to com- municate with the cecum by another stump, or “horseshoe appendix”. The aim of this report is to share our experience with this extraordinary finding.

Özet

Apendiks anomalileri çoğunlukla erişkin popülasyonda rastlantı sonucu bulunan çok nadir malformasyonlardır. Apendiks agenezis ve duplikasyonu iyi bilinmesine rağ- men, bildirilmiş sadece üç adet atnalı apendiks olgusu bulunduğunu biliyoruz. Acil servise başvuran 64 yaşında kadın hasta akut apandisit ön tanısı ile ameliyathaneye alındı. Standart yaklaşımla apendektomi uygulanırken, “at nalı apendiks” şeklinde distal ucun ikinci bir güdük ile çekumla bağlantılı olduğu görüldü. Buradaki amacı- mız bu sıra dışı bulguyla ilgili deneyimimizi paylaşmak- tır.
