Twenty patients (35.1%) diagnosed as generalized peritonitis, 18 cases (31.6%) diagnosed as localized peritonitis, 14 patients (24.6%) diagnosed as appendicular mass, and 5 cases (8.8%) diagnosed as appendicular abscess. Forty cases (70.2%) underwent surgical intervention, whereas 17 cases (29.8%) improved with conservative management. Fifteen cases (37.5%) of operated patients underwent simple appendectomy and 13 cases (32.5%) underwent appendectomy with drain, and 12 cases (30%) underwent midline laparotomy.
