Özet

BACKGROUND: Normal physiologic changes during pregnancy result in similar laboratory and symptomatology changes as those during acute appendicitis (AA), making the diagnosis extremely difficult. The aim of the present study was to analyze the efficacy of conventional laboratory and radiologic tests in the diagnosis of AA according to different stages of pregnancy.
