title: Snapshot quiz - recurrent right iliac fossa pain in the patient with a previous history of appendicitis.
abstract: A low threshold for computed tomography (CT) scanning in patients with previous appendicectomy and right iliac fossa pain helps facilitate timely diagnosis and exclusion of other differential diagnoses. Here, we present a rare cause which has significant medicolegal ramifications and is accurately diagnosed with CT.
