Fig. 2From: Pictorial review of normal postoperative cross-sectional imaging findings and infectious complications following laparoscopic appendectomyA 51-year-old male with pelvic pain was preoperatively investigated with contrast-enhanced MDCT, which showed classic features of uncomplicated AA (arrow in a) with periappendiceal inflammatory fat stranding. Three weeks after LA, persistent abdominal pain led to repeated MDCT, which showed normalisation of the pericaecal fat planes (+), absence of ascites and abscess collections, and reactive circumferential thickening (arrowheads in b and c) of the lower caecum. The patient recovered well without any further treatmentBack to article page
