Abstract:
Anomalies of the appendix are extremely rare, with a reported incidence of 0.004 to 0.009. Due to the wide range of variations, failing to recognize these anomalies may lead to failure of treatment and complications. We report a case of a 35-year-old male patient who presented to the Emergency Department with a clinical picture of acute appendicitis. After performing the proper laboratory and radiological tests, a decision was made to do a laparoscopic appendectomy which revealed a bifid vermiform appendix with features of acute appendicitis.
