Abstract
Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency however, the diagnosis is often dismissed when it presents as acute small bowel obstruction. We report this child patient who presented with clinical and radiological features of small bowel obstruction. Laparotomy was done with removal of the obstructing agent (appendix) and the patient recovered uneventfully.
