Most common sign was abdominal tenderness 25 cases . Non-operative management was adopted in 63.33% patients,operative management was done in 11 cases (36.67%).The most common post-operative complication was respiratory infections(27.27%).The present study showed a mortality of 10% (3 cases). 11 were treated operatively and 19 patients were treated conservatively.
