Figure 1 Ultrasound image(A) Ultrasound shows an enlarged appendix (indicated by the white arrows, measuring approximately 5.56 cm in length and 1.17 cm in diameter) with decreased echogenicity, anechoic lumen, and poor acoustic transmission. (B) Ultrasound shows an indistinct contour of the appendiceal tip (indicated by the white arrows), with an approximately 1.56 × 0.51 cm irregular anechoic area adjacent to the appendix. Findings are suggestive of acute appendicitis.
