Abstract: (2260 Views)
Background and Objectives: Today, in addition to the acute pancreatitis, hyperamylasemia is seen among some other acute surgical conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to introduce a case of hyperamylasemia as a rare case in a patient with uncomplicated appendicitis.
Case report: The present study was a case report in which a 10-year-old patient referred to Ali-ebn Abi Taleb Hospital in Rafsanjan city with abdominal pain. During hospitalization, serum amylase levels were monitored twice, which were 259 U/L and 287 U/L, respectively. The patient eventually underwent surgery with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis and was discharged with good general condition after 4 days of admission.
Conclusion: An increase in serum amylase level should not distract the surgeon from other diagnoses of acute abdominal surgery, especially if acute appendicitis is suspected for the patient.
Key words: Hyperamylasemia, Appendicitis, Abdominal pain, Amylase
Funding: This study did not have any funding.
Conflict of interest: None daclared.
Ethical approval: This was a case report study which doesn’t get any ethical code, but we promise no to reveal our patients’ data.
