The end of the appendix is variable and this demonstrates the various forms of presentation; retromesenteric, retrocecal external latero-cecal, and internal latero-cecal. The main objective of this case study is to explain the nursing care process in an adolescent patient diagnosed with acute appendicitis. The main clinical signs and symptoms are absent abdominal pain, patients frequently present, due to the position of the cecal appendix, epigastralgia, hyperthermia, vomiting and nausea, on palpation they present pain in the right iliac fossa and in laboratory tests increased in leukocytes. However, the diagnosis is completely clinical, linked to a detailed clinical history and cephalocaudal assessment, since this condition can occur especially in pregnant women, infants and the elderly, for this reason it is important to recognize the morpho physiology, clinical signs and symptoms , additional tests, in order to rule out other diagnoses.
