1 Abdominal CT scan findings in Acute Appendicitis Pathophysiology of acute appendicitis. Acute appendicitis occurs when the lumen is obstructed, leading to fluid accumulation, luminal distention, inflammation and ultimately, perforation. Distension of the appendiceal lumen causes the sensation of vague, diffuse abdominal pain. Intraluminal bacterial overgrowth causes mucosal breakdown and bacterial invasion of the appendiceal wall. Inflammation of the wall causes peritonitis and localized pain. Typical bacteria causing appendicitis include E. coli, Peptostreptococcus, B. fragilis, and Pseudomonas. CT findings of appendicitis fall into 3 categories 1. appendiceal changes 2. cecal apical changes 3. inflammatory changes in the right lower quadrant Most useful CT scan findings of the diagnosis of Acute Appendicitis 1 1. enlarged appendix (>6mm is abnormal) 12mm 2. appendiceal wall thickening (>2mm is abnormal)
2 3. periappendiceal fat stranding 4. appendiceal wall enhancement Possible findings in acute appendicitis 1. enlarged appendix 2. appendiceal wall thickening 3. appendiceal wall enlargement 4. periappendiceal fat stranding 5. focal cecal apical thickening
3 6. appendicolith (seen in 20-40% of patients with appendicitis 4 ) 7. target structure (concentric thickening of the inflamed appendiceal wall) 8. extraluminal air 9. intraluminal air
4 10. phlegmon 11. arrowhead sign 12. cecal bar 13. abscess 14. lymphadenopathy 15. terminal ileum wall thickening 16. colonic wall thickening Is there a need for contrast? 90% sensitive for appendicitis with no contrast 98% sensitive for appendicitis with IV contrast Why is appendicitis missed on CT scan? Most common reason for a false-negative CT scan in a patient with acute appendicitis is a paucity of intraabdominal fat which serves as a natural contrast agent. 3 Dilation of the small bowel also makes the diagnosis of appendicitis difficult. Deceiving clinical history Lack of contrast Equivical Findings 2 When acute appendicitis is present, there are usually multiple tomographic findings suggesting appendicitis such as wall thickening, appendiceal enlargement, appendicolith, appendiceal wall enhancement, or fat stranding. When appendicitis absent, there are usually no tomographic findings of appendicitis. An equivocal result is defined as a study where there is only one tomographic finding or a questionable finding to suggest appendicitis.
5 Appendicitis was seen in only 50% of patients if the appendix size was greater than 9mm if there were no other tomographic findings to suggest disease. Thirty percent of patients with equivocal CT scan findings of appendicitis will have the disease. Common mimics of appendicitis Crohn s disease Pelvic inflammatory disease Pyelonephritis Renal and urinary tract obstruction Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst Right-sided diverticultis Mesenteric adenitis Epiploic appendagitis Bowel ischemia Right-sided colon cancer Uncommon mimics of appendicitis Mucocele of the appendix Ovarian vein thrombosis Ovarian dermoid Necrotic uterine leiomyoma Ovarian torsion Endometriosis Ruptured ectopic pregnancy Typhlitis Sigmoid colon diverticulits Intussusception Pseudomembranous colits Perforated peptic ulcer References: 1.
