Invaginaci贸n Apendicular en preescolar: Reporte de un caso y revisi贸n de la literatura
Intestinal invagination occurs when an intestinal segment is introduced into another segment. The appendicular presentation is less common and affects predominantly infants. The diagnosis is corroborated during the surgical intervention which consists of de-invagination followed by surgical removal of the appendix, if the latter is not possible then a wide resection or right hemicolectomy is indicated. We present the case of a 4-year-old girl who attended with a history of abdominal pain, anorexia, vomiting and fever; an abdominal ultrasound showed intestinal agglomeration and a rounded mass. The surgical findings included appendicular invagination that affected the cecum, the lesion was resected until the ascending colon. An ileostomy was performed, the anatomopathological findings indicated necrosis of the appendix. Three months later the normal intestinal transit was restored. Appendicular intussusception has non-specific symptoms and could be mortal in Peru. A detailed clinical history may help in diagnosing and offering proper treatment.La invaginaci贸n intestinal sucede cuando un segmento del intestino se introduce en otro. La presentaci贸n apendicular es menos com煤n, afectando principalmente a lactantes. Frecuentemente, se comprueba durante el intraoperatorio. El tratamiento es la desinvaginaci贸n, seguido de la ex茅resis del ap茅ndice. De no lograrse, se prefiere la resecci贸n amplia o una hemicolectom铆a derecha. Se presenta en caso de una ni帽a de 4 a帽os que acudi贸 por dolor abdominal, hiporexia, v贸mitos y sensaci贸n de alza t茅rmica; la ecograf铆a mostr贸 conglomeraci贸n de asas intestinales e imagen redondeada. En cirug铆a se encontr贸 invaginaci贸n apendicular que compromete el ciego, se resec贸 la masa hasta el inicio del colon ascendente. Se realiz贸 una ileostom铆a sin f铆stula mucosa; el estudio anatomo-patol贸gico inform贸 necrosis del ap茅ndice cecal. Tres meses despu茅s se restituy贸 el tr谩nsito intestinal. La Intususcepci贸n apendicular tiene s铆ntomas inespec铆ficos. En Per煤, puede llegar a ser mortal. Una historia cl铆nica detallada con evaluaci贸n minuciosa ofrece un acertado diagn贸stico y un tratamiento oportuno
