ABSTRACT

We note a specific case report of a 38 year old patient, who presented to an emergency room with an 8-hour history of a continuous and progressive, abdominal pain syndrome. Without fever, nausea, vomiting, or urinary tract symptoms, and with a 36-hour history of constipation. We established as a first possibility the clinical diagnosis of, acute appendicitis vs. an ovarian cyst complication, such as rupture or torsion. After the initial basic diagnostic tests, we decided to do a laparoscopic approach for purposes of diagnosis and treatment.
