Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: As severe complication of appendicitis as effusive pericarditis is a rare phenomenon. Taking into consideration open access data in a 50-year period we perceived three pediatric cases with pericarditis as a complication of appendicitis.
PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a 15-year-old boy who presented cardiac tamponade, bilateral pleural effusions, liver enlargement and ascites as a presentation of atypical appendicitis.
DISCUSSION: Even nowadays appendicitis could be difficult to diagnose in children. A delayed diagnosis could be responsible for severe morbidity and mortality.
CONCLUSION: This report is aimed to be a reminder of serious life-threatening complications after a common abdomen condition - appendicitis.
