Appendicitis and trauma may exist together, which causes an interesting debate whether trauma has led to appendicitis.
We report a case of appendicitis after an abdominal trauma. Our patient developed acute appendicitis following a stab
wound in the right iliac fossa. Surgical exploration confirmed the traumatic origin of appendicitis, appendectomy was
performed and our patient made an excellent recovery. In non operative management of abdominal trauma, physical
examinations and radiological explorations should be repeated in order to diagnose traumatic appendicitis
