Akut apandisit, acil cerrahi gerektiren en yaygýn akut karýn aðrýsý nedenlerinden biridir. Apendiksin varyasyonel anatomik lokalizasyonlarýndan dolayý olgularýn yaklaþýk üçte birinde farklý bir kadranda aðrý olabilir. Akut apandisit, sitüs inversus totalis (SIT), Midgut malrotasyon (MM) gibi birkaç doðuþtan anomali dýþýnda sol alt kadran aðrýsýnda nadiren akla gelir. Midgut malrotasyon nadir bir doðuþtan anomali olup superior mezenterik damarlarýn etrafýnda rotasyon veya baðýrsaklarýn fiksasyonu hatasýndan kaynaklanýr ve baðýrsaðýn inkomplet rotasyonu veya nonrotasyonu anlamýna gelir. Burada sol alt kadran aðrýsý ile baþvuran ve akut perfore apandisit tanýsý alan intestinal nonrotasyonlu bir olgu sunuldu. Klinisyenler intestinal nonrotasyonun sol alt kadran aðrýsý ile prezente olan akut apandisit ile komplike olabileceðini bilmeli, sol alt kadran lokalizasyonlu apandisitlerde intestinal nonrotasyon akla gelmelidir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Akut apandisit, intestinal nonrotasyon; Midgut malotasyon; sol alt karýn aðrýsý.

Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of acute abdominal pain, requiring emergency surgery. Approximately one third of cases have pain unexcepted location due to its various anatomical location. Acute appendicitis is a very rare cause of left lower quadrant pain; if it occurs, a few congenital anomalies should be considered such as Situs Inversus totalis and Midgut Malrotation (MM). MM is a rare congenital anomaly; it occurs due to error in process of rotation or fixation of intestines around the superior mesenteric vessels and it refers to nonrotation or incomplete rotation of intestines. Here we report a case who presented with left lower abdominal pain and was diagnosed with acute perforated appendicitis with intestinal nonrotation. Clinicians should be aware that intestinal nonrotation may be presented with left lower quadrant pain and complicated by acute appendicitis.

Keywords: Acute appendicitis, intestinal nonrotation; left lower abdominal pain; midgut malrotation.
