title: [Ultrasonic diagnosis of acute suppurative appendicitis: a case report (author's transl)].
abstract: In a patient, 87 years of age, with typical symptoms and clinical signs of acute appendicitis we were able to demonstrate the swollen and fluid-filled appendix by sonography. The suspected diagnosis of a suppurative appendicitis was confirmed at operation. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of the use of sonography in establishing the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
