Appendicular peritonitis in a newborn
Preoperative diagnosis of acute appendicitis during neonatal period presents significant difficulties. As a rule, surgical intervention in such children is carried out late against the background of peritonitis or the diagnosis is confirmed only at autopsy. Currently, the national literature describes appendicitis only in 44 newborns. Due to the rarity of the disease, lack of pathognomonic symptoms, which complicates the differential diagnosis of appendicitis in newborns, we consider it necessary to report our observation.
