I had no symptoms at all of appendicitis, none. No pain, no fever, and no diarrhea. As far as I was concerned I was a healthy patient. I had kidney pain on my left side and had a CT scan looking for kidney stones, no stones were found but they did find an inflamed appendix. After consulting with my surgeon I had it removed, started with laparoscopy but the appendix was so swollen they couldn't stitch me back up well.
One author reported the ability to identify a normal appendix in as many as 82% of patients without appendicitis. When a normal appendix cannot be demonstrated and when no pericecal fluid or echogenic mass is observed, the examination is usually considered not to be diagnostic for appendicitis.T scan findings in appendicitis. With high-resolution CT scanning, an abnormal appendix can be observed, and variable CT scan findings can be evaluated in patients with acute appendicitis. A few secondary findings often accompany acute appendicitis.
