ABSTRACT
We note a specific case report of a 38 year old patient, who
presented to an emergency room with an 8-hour history of
a continuous and progressive, abdominal pain syndrome.
Without fever, nausea, vomiting, or urinary tract symptoms,
and with a 36-hour history of constipation. We established as
a first possibility the clinical diagnosis of, acute appendicitis
vs. an ovarian cyst complication, such as rupture or torsion.
After the initial basic diagnostic tests, we decided to do a laparoscopic
approach for purposes of diagnosis and treatment.
