ПЕРЕВОД НУЖЕН ПОМОГИТЕ ПОЖАЛУЙСТА THE PRACTICAL MEDICINE Today we discussed the case of a 22-year-old white man who was in good health prior to two days ago, when he began to have an abdominal pain. This pain was sporadic and colicky in nature. It began in the epigastrium and has since migrated to the right lower quadrant. The patient has had three episodes of vomiting associated with the pain. He has been anorectic and feverish. He has no bowel movements for two days. He reported no diarrhea, coughing with expectoration or short of breath. He has no past history or family history of abdominal pain or any other disease. The pertinent physical findings are related to the abdomen. There is extreme tenderness to palpation, especially over McBurney's point. Guarding, muscle rigidity and rebound tenderness are all present. Bowel sounds are absent. There is a difference between the axillary and the rectal temperature. His urinalysis, hemoglobin and hematocrit are within normal limits. Nevertheless, both white blood count and red rate are elevated. His chest film is clear, but in the abdominal film we observed the psoas line absent. We established the differential diagnosis with acute pancreatitis, acute cholecystitis, myocardial infarction, gastroduodenal ulcer and perforation of an ulcer, finally, we decided the definitive diagnosis is acute appendicitis. Among the possible complications to consider are perforation, necrosis peritonitis. Therefore, the prognosis is anceps. The only possible treatment is surgical: appendectomy.
