Abstract
Acute appendicitis (AA) remains the most common visceral paediatric surgery emergency in developed countries [1]. Since the 90s, the radiological progress allowed a considerable improvement in the diagnosis of acute paediatric appendicitis. Nevertheless, it is not always easy to have an accurate diagnosis. Two risks persist in the management of acute paediatric appendicitis: the delay in the diagnosis and a high rate of false positive diagnosis, which justifies being interested in this entity in all points of view (epidemiological, diagnosis and therapeutic management).
