ABSTRACT
We present a case of a young boy with an unusual cause of right iliac fossa pain. His history, examination and laboratory investigations suggested a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. However preoperative abdominal CT revealed an inflamed solitary caecal diverticulum and a normal appendix. He was subsequently treated conservatively and recovered well, saving him from undergoing a general anaesthetic and abdominal surgery.
