Abstract
A series of 52 children with appendiceal abscess is presented. The general policy of treatment was initially conservative regime followed by delayed elective appendectomy. Ten patients had a recurrence before appendectomy was performed. In 2 patients, potentially malignant conditions were discovered at appendectomy. There were no significant postoperative complications. Delayed elective appendectomy is recommended after an interval of 4-6 weeks.
