With suspicion of acute appendicitis, we performed bedside sonography. A blind-ending tubular structure, originating from the base of cecum with the presence of an intraluminal calcified \u201cstone,\u201d with the presence of clear peristalsis was seen. Whether this structure represented the appendix or the small bowel, it was not distinguishable sonographically. A consequent surgical consultation indicated a computer tomography scan, and the finding showed acute appendicitis with appendicolith. An inflamed appendix of 15 cm in length was seen laparoscopically and consequently an appendectomy was performed. The histology confirmed a putrid, ulcero-phlegmonous, and hemorrhagic appendicitis with appendicolith. Postoperatively, the patient made a good recovery without complications. The absence of peristalsis is a well-known criterion for diagnosing acute appendicitis. However, we have shown here, that this should be taken into account with caution, as in rare cases such as this appendicitis can be present with peristalsis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jmu.jmu_177_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,18]],"date-time":"2022-06-18T06:54:17Z","timestamp":1655535257000},"page":"138-139","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Acute Appendicitis with the Presence of Peristalsis Seen in Ultrasound"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Vignes","family":"Mohan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pjeter","family":"Laska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angelina","family":"Meier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Minotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-11-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1016\/S0736-4679(01)00353-5","article-title":"The diagnosis of acute appendicitis: Clinical assessment versus computed tomography evaluation","volume":"21","author":"Gwynn","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Emerg Med"},{"key":"R2-11-20240830","first-page":"0408","article-title":"Appendicitis","volume":"2007","author":"Humes","year":"2007","journal-title":"BMJ Clin Evid"},{"key":"R3-11-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"551","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0034-1366074","article-title":"Imaging of appendicitis in adults","volume":"186","author":"Karul","year":"2014","journal-title":"Rofo"},{"key":"R4-11-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"557","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-0644(86)80993-3","article-title":"A practical score for the early diagnosis of acute appendicitis","volume":"15","author":"Alvarado","year":"1986","journal-title":"Ann Emerg Med"},{"key":"R5-11-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"859","DOI":"10.5811\/westjem.2014.9.21568","article-title":"Diagnosing appendicitis: Evidence-based review of the diagnostic approach in 2014","volume":"15","author":"Shogilev","year":"2014","journal-title":"West J Emerg Med"},{"key":"R6-11-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1124","DOI":"10.1111\/acem.13212","article-title":"Accuracy of point-of-care ultrasonography for diagnosing acute appendicitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"24","author":"Matthew Fields","year":"2017","journal-title":"Acad Emerg Med"},{"key":"R7-11-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1007\/s003300050098","article-title":"Infectious ileocecitis caused by Yersinia, Campylobacter, and Salmonella: Clinical, radiological and US findings","volume":"7","author":"Puylaert","year":"1997","journal-title":"Eur Radiol"},{"key":"R8-11-20240830","first-page":"271","article-title":"Terminal ileitis is not always Crohn's disease","volume":"24","author":"Bojic","year":"2011","journal-title":"Ann Gastroenterol"},{"key":"R9-11-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"81","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.06.1257","article-title":"Imaging manifestations of Meckel's diverticulum","volume":"189","author":"Elsayes","year":"2007","journal-title":"AJR Am J Roentgenol"},{"key":"R10-11-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"382","DOI":"10.1007\/s002470050766","article-title":"Ultrasonographic diagnosis of a bleeding Meckel's diverticulum","volume":"30","author":"Mostbeck","year":"2000","journal-title":"Pediatr Radiol"}],"container-title":["Journal of Medical Ultrasound"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/JMU.JMU_177_20","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T15:01:35Z","timestamp":1787756495000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/JMU.JMU_177_20"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,4]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jmu.jmu_177_20","relation":{},"ISSN":["0929-6441"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0929-6441","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,4]]}}}
