2 days after admission to the Department of Urology CT revealed acute appendicitis for what open appendectomy was performed.
Acute appendicitis can lead to obstructive uropathy by periappendiceal inflammation due to adjacency.
Urologists, surgeons, and emergency physicians should be aware of this rare complication of atypical acute appendicitis.
