Abstract

DIAZ-ROSALES, Juan de Dios; SALVA, Cecilio R  and  RIVERA-CORDOVA, Alma A. Cecum necrosis as acute abdomen in a patient with renal failure. Cir. gen [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.3, pp.228-231.  Epub July 25, 2022. ISSN 1405-0099.  https://doi.org/10.35366/99965.

Cecal necrosis is a rare disease of uncertain etiology with identifiable risk factors. This report describes a case of a female patient with acute abdomen (with comorbidities as type 2 diabetes and renal failure treated with hemodialysis) diagnosed as complicated appendicitis, but real diagnosis was made during surgery as necrosis of cecum. This diagnosis should be considered in patients with acute abdomen focused in right lower quadrant and associated comorbidities as renal failure.

Keywords : Appendicitis; ischemic colitis; renal insufficiency; abdomen acute.
