Abstract

Introduction and importance: Appendicitis is a common cause of acute abdomen in children. Due to its distinct clinical manifestations, often, its diagnosis is not very challenging. At younger age cases with atypical manifestations of appendicitis have been reported in the literature. In this study, we report seizure as another manifestation of appendicitis. Case presentation: A young man presented to our clinic with diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever and history of seizure in past few days. After para-clinical examinations, he was primarily diagnosed as case of viral encephalitis and referred to our center. As his condition worsened, further work-up were done and he was finally diagnosed as perforated appendicitis. Conclusion: Since perforated appendicitis could present with gastroenteritis accompanied by seizure, we believe in patients without a neurological history who present with seizures and loss of consciousness, abdominal problems must be considered. © 2022
