case_images: There is marked thickening of parts of the appendix up to a diameter of 7 mm (open arrowheads) compared with the normal adjacent part of the appendix (closed arrowheads). Technique: B mode sonography and color-coded sonography, Siemens ACUSON S2000, 14 MHz linear probe.

case_images: In this examination, the apex of the appendix of the boy was distended to a diameter of 7 mm, showing hyperemia and missing visualization of bowel layers as well as surrounding perityphlitic edema ( Figs. 1 2 3 ), which lead to the suspicion of chronic appendicitis.
case_images: The thickened appendix shows complete loss of the regular bowel layers, in general is hypoechoic (between arrows). There is no marked hyperperfusion of the tissue.
