[An atypical localized appendicitis: the role of colonoscopy in the diagnosis]. / Une appendicite de localisation atypique: apport de la coloscopie au diagnostic.

The left sided appendicitis diagnosis is made apart from the medical imaging laparotomy (echography, and computed tomography). In this text, the authors deal with a case where colonoscopy has been used to make the diagnosis. Through an analysis based on a reported case and literature, they argue for the use of colonoscopy as diagnosis means to confirm appendicitis when medical imaging (computed tomography) is not accessible or has been used.
