Abstract
Acute appendicitis is a relatively common disease, but it is rarely caused by trauma. There are some reports on appendicitis caused by blunt abdominal trauma, but the pathophysiology is still uncertain. In this report, we presented a case of a patient who developed acute appendicitis following blunt trauma to the abdomen sustained during a motor vehicle accident.
