Abstract

There is strong evidence that recurrent attacks of pain in the right lower quadrant may be the result of episodes of appendiceal inflammation. Since the classic signs and symptoms may not occur with recurrent appendicitis, careful attention to the patient's history is essential for diagnosis. Prompt surgical intervention results in clinical improvement and spares the patient needless distress.
