Abstract
AbstractIntroduction:Ruptured retrocecal appendicitis can occur after cesarean section, leading to significant maternal morbidity. The optimal management for postpartalwomen in this situation remains unclear.Case Presentation: A 29-year-old nulliparous woman at 39 weeks gestation underwent an elective cesarean section. Postoperatively, she developed fever and abdominal pain. Despite initial conservative management, her condition worsened, leading to a diagnosis of ruptured retrocecal appendicitis.Discussion: This case highlights the challenges of diagnosing appendicitis in the postpartum period. While surgical intervention is almost always necessary, the timing and extent of surgery can be influenced by various factors, including the stage of postpartum period and the severity of the appendicitis. Further research is needed to establish evidence-based guidelines for managing this condition in postpartum women.Keywords:retrocecal appendicitis, cesarean section, postpartum, maternal morbidity
