Recurrent Acute Appendicitis During the First Stage of Labor

Abstract

A 32-year-old nulliparous Japanese woman presented with acute appendicitis at 12 weeks of gestation, which was successfully treated non-surgically with intravenous antibiotics. However, she had a relapse of acute appendicitis at 40 + 3 weeks of gestation and underwent emergent simultaneous cesarean section and appendectomy. Careful attention should be paid to the relapse of appendicitis after its successful conservative management.
