ACUTE APPENDICITIS
An axial slice of a CT scan done with the use of intravenous and oral contrast is presented. The arrow points to an area of soft tissue induration within the retrocecal fat. There is a rim like area of higher attenuation within this area. The structure is fluid filled. These features are compatible with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis and the presence of rupture cannot be excluded.
