Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
To evaluate the accuracy of sonography in diagnosing acute appendicitis in King Fahad General Hospital at Albaha (KFGH). This is a retrospective cross-sectional study being performed in KFGH during 9 months (January, 2015 to July, 2016). We evaluate all admitted patients as a case of acute appendicitis . we divided them to two groups: First group those with pre operative ultrasound study only, and second group those with pre operative ultrasound study confirmed by post operative histopathological study. Then we compare between accuracy of ultrasound and histopathology reports .the collected data include all demographic data , history and physical examination. Ultrasound is more useful less invasive especially in female patients.
