Appendicitis is an exceedingly uncommon diagnosis in infancy and, thus, is typically not considered a differential diagnosis for this population. Its atypical presentation, with a wide range of clinical manifestations, creates a diagnostic challenge for physicians. Along with this, a patient’s inability to articulate their pain adds another layer of diagnostic challenge. Here, we present the case of a six-month-old infant with a complicated hospital course of pneumonia and subsequent ileus, who was later found to have appendicitis with a surrounding abscess.
