| Abstract: | Pericarditis as a complication of appendicitis is a rare event. In a 25-year period we encountered two pediatric cases with this severe complication due to (a)typical presentation of appendicitis resulting in small bowel obstruction, intraabdominal abscesses, constrictive pericarditis, and purulent pericarditis. |
