Overview
Appendicular abscess is one of the rarest entity that presents with abdominal pain. It occurs in around 2-7% of patients with appendicitis. Younger people, in the age group of 10-19, have a higher chance of developing appendicular abscess when medically not treated. Males are more likely to develop appendicular abscess than females. Caucasians are more likely to develop complications of appendicitis than non-Caucasians.
