Abstract
Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency in children. Standard treatment for both non-perforated and perforated appendicitis is laparoscopic appendectomy. In recent years there has been great interest in treatment of non-perforated appendicitis with antibiotics. Treatment with antibiotics is also the frst-line management for appendiceal mass or abscess. This chapter includes questions related to clinical presentation, diagnostic investigations, imaging, treatment and outcomes.
