Clinical manifestations and complications of acute appendicitis in pediatrics: An analysis
Resumen
Childhood appendicitis can result in several serious complications that disable immediate medical attention and specialized care. Among them, the rupture of the appendix stands out, which can lead to peritonitis; the formation of abdominal abscesses; the possibility of sepsis, an environmentally fatal condition; the formation of abdominal adhesions after appendectomy; and postoperative complications such as bleeding and infection. Not only do these complications have a significant physical impact, but they can also affect the child's psychological and emotional well-being, causing anxiety and stress. Therefore, it is essential to consider the symptoms of appendicitis early and seek prompt medical attention to avoid serious complications and ensure proper recovery.
