title: [Chronic appendicitis].
abstract: From the clinical point of view the so-called "chronic appendicitis" is not existent. In 2/3 of our patients with so-called clinical appendicitis-like symptoms the clinical picture did not correlate with pathological-anatomical findings. There is a strong indication for an operation and only in such recurrent cases where other diseases are excluded.
