Abstract

Appendicitis is the most common abdominal emergency. The lifetime risk of having appendicitis is 8.6% for males and 6.7% for females; while the lifetime risk of appendicectomy is 12.0% for males and 23.1% for females. A very important complication of this entity is appendicular perforation. We treated a patient of appendicular perforation with extremely uncommon manifestation- retrogastric cyst leading to gastric outlet obstruction.
