| Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our pictorial essay is to highlight the helical CT features of uncommon mimics of appendicitis and to provide clues to differentiate them from appendicitis. CONCLUSION: Uncommon mimics of appendicitis create a diagnostic challenge in patients with right lower quadrant pain. Recognition of the helical CT features of uncommon mimics of appendicitis is important in clinical management and avoiding unnecessary laparotomy. |
