Abstract

Acute appendicitis in children — the most common acute surgical disease of the abdominal cavity is found at any age. For children of the first 3 years of life, acute appendicitis is considered a rare disease and, according to various authors, occurs in 0.5-2% of cases. It is in young children that the diagnosis of acute appendicitis is complex and difficult, especially at the prehospital stage and therefore diagnostic errors are allowed.
