Diagnosing this condition requires a high level of suspicion due to its ambiguous and nonspecific symptoms. Radiological investigations such as ultrasound and computed tomography scans can aid in diagnosis. Early identification and treatment are of paramount importance for good patient outcomes. In most cases, Tip excision is the preferred treatment. However, antibiotics can also be a useful alternative. Conservative antibiotic treatment can be successful in certain situations, particularly when no fecaliths or perforation exists. Close monitoring is necessary to avoid the return of chronic appendicitis. We here introduce a case of a 47-year-old female patient who underwent an open appendectomy a year ago and is currently complaining of right lower quadrant abdominal pain. The patient was diagnosed with tip appendicitis. She was started on conservative antibiotic therapy and discharged home with good general conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae685","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,6]],"date-time":"2024-11-06T16:31:49Z","timestamp":1730910709000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A rare case of tip appendicitis treated successfully with conservative management"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2024","author":[{"given":"Hanan","family":"Qunibi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebron Governmental Hospital , Habayel Al-Riyah, Hebron, Palestine, P720 ,","place":["Palestine"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariam","family":"Thalji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebron Governmental Hospital , Habayel Al-Riyah, Hebron, Palestine, P720 ,","place":["Palestine"]},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Al-Quds University , College of Medicine, Main Campus, Abu-Dis, P.O.
