Apandisit ve künt karın travması iki farklı durum olsa da, nadiren gösterebildikleri birliktelik klinisyen için bir sürpriz olabilir. Bu sunumda, travma nedeniyle başvuran ancak klinik izleminde karın ağrısı devam eden ve sonuçta apandisit gelişen bir olguyu bildirdik. Çalışmada, hem klinisyen hem de cerrah için tesadüfi birliktelik ve kolaylıkla tanısı atlanabilecek apandisit ile ilgili detaylar incelenmiştir.
