Gas-filled appendix: lack of diagnostic specificity

MS Lim

Three patients with a gas-filled appendix in association with acute abdominal symptoms are described. In each case the gas-filled appendix was located in the right lower quadrant. None of the patients had appendicitis. It is emphasized that this combination of findings is not neccessarily diagnostic of appendicitis. Clinical evaluation is important in assessing the significance of this sign.
