Abstract

Appendiceal diverticular disease is a rare entity. It was first described by Kelynack in1893 [1]. Acute appendiceal diverticulitis is reported as a rare cause of appendicitis with a frequency between 0.004% and 2.1% [2]. Appendiceal diverticulitis may mimic acute appendicitis; however it occurs in relatively older age (43 vs 29 years [3]. A 37-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a 1-day history of right lower quadrant pain, associated with fever nausea and anorexia. There was no change in urine, weight loss or change in bowel habits.
