title: Observation-or urgent action?
abstract: Certain cases do not reveal themselves as urgent initially, and may appear to justify conservative management. In retrospect, the outcome of the case may reveal all too vividly the importance of early diagnosis and management. In this instance, the patient's own reluctance to submit to examination contributed to the decision for conservative management.
