Appendicitis in infancy.
Abstract
One percent (40 infants) of all the children treated for acute appendicitis at Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children presented during the first 2 yr of life. Nineteen of the 40 children had an appendix mass at the time of the diagnosis. Conservative management of the appendix mass followed by delayed elective appendectomy is a safe and effective method of treatment.
