Resumen

Torsion of the vermiform appendix is a rare cause of appendicitis that is clinically indistinguishable from the classical presentation. In this paper, we present the first report in the literature of an appendicular torsion as- sociated with an undescended cecum. A 3-year-old male patient with persistent pain in the right hypochon- drium and peritoneal irritation underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, finding necrosis of the vermiform appen- dix caused by torsion of its base associated with an undescended cecum located in an indurated area of the subhepatic region. A video-assisted transumbilical appendectomy was performed.
