Small volume of free fluid in the inferior right paracolic gutter with fat stranding adjacent to the posterior aspect of the cecum, which is mildly thick-walled, and appearing centered on an inflamed diverticulum with a few other noninflamed diverticula present. Normal terminal ileum. Normal appendix. No abscess. No free gas.
Case Discussion
Right iliac fossa pain has a very broad differential. One of the most common causes appendicitis although in older patients other gastrointestinal causes such as diverticulitis and colorectal cancer become relatively more common.
