Abstract

Problems such as
infection and pain that occur in the puerperium are frequently assumed to be
related to pregnancy or delivery. Nevertheless, other important causes should
also be kept in mind. Acute appendicitis is the most common non-obstetrics an
acute surgical condition in pregnancy. In current report, a patient who had
applied to our clinic with abdominal pain, high body temperature and high
C-reactive protein in puerperium and diagnosed as acute appendicitis and later performed
appendectomy was presented and the topic was discussed along with the
literature review.

Abstract

Lohusalık
döneminde ortaya çıkan enfeksiyon ve ağrı gibi nedenlerin sıklıkla gebelik ve
doğuma bağlı olduğu kabul edilir. Ancak, diğer önemli nedenlerde akılda
tutulmalıdır. Akut apandisit gebelikte obstetrik nedenler dışında, en sık
karşılaşılan akut cerrahi gerektiren durumdur. Bu yazıda; püerperal dönemde
karın ağrısı, yüksek vücut ısısı ve yüksek C-reaktif protein ile kliniğimize
başvuran akut apandisit tanısı alan bir hasta sunuldu ve konu literatür bilgisi
eşliğinde tartışıldı.
