This atypical placement often leads to delayed diagnosis and complications due to its similar symptoms to other abdominal diseases. While ultrasound is a valuable tool for diagnosis, laparoscopic appendectomy is the preferred treatment method when available. However, in resource-limited settings without laparoscopic capabilities, open surgery is necessary.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Subhepatic appendicitis is a rare occurrence and its infrequent location makes it difficult to diagnose. Awareness of various location of appendix, a high index of suspicion and radiological imaging is required for prompt diagnosis and management. Appendicitis in subhepatic appendix and high up cecum creates a lot of confusion in both diagnosis and surgical exploration which may lead in complication and delay in treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.110320","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,19]],"date-time":"2024-09-19T08:51:45Z","timestamp":1726735905000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Malrotated subhepatic caecum with subhepatic appendicitis: Diagnostic dilemma: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"123","author":[{"given":"Biniam Addis","family":"Anelay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, SPHMMC, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alemneh Mitku","family":"Chekol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, St. Peter's Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Workye","family":"Tigabie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, St. Peter's Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Sintayew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, SPHMMC, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elleni","family":"Tadesse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, SPHMMC, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"R1-137-20260507","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-020-02499-2","article-title":"Surgical management of subhepatic perforated appendicitis: a case report","volume":"14","author":"Hakim,","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Med Case Reports"},{"issue":"12","key":"R2-137-20260507","article-title":"Subhepatic appendicitis in an 11-year-old boy: a case report","volume":"11","author":"Alqahtani,","year":"2019","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"issue":"1","key":"R3-137-20260507","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"174.e1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2018.09.039","article-title":"Pediatric subhepatic appendicitis with elevated lipase","volume":"37","author":"McAninch,","year":"2019","journal-title":"Am.
