Megappendix

This was the largest appendix I have ever seen. This patient had symptoms for almost a week before presenting to the ER.

CT criteria for diagnosis of appendicitis include an appendiceal diameter of greater than 6mm. This patient's appendix measured almost 2 cm in diameter, with a visible appendicolith present.

The hospital course was unremarkable.
