Abstract

Vermiform Appendix is characterised by great variability of its location and morphology. Appendicitis is one of the most common diseases that needs emergency surgery. Variations in anatomical position cause different clinical presentation. During routine dissection for UG’s in a adult male cadaver, the appendix was found to be in promonteric position with dual blood supply. The arteries found to arise from ileocolic artery, one each to the base and tip of the appendix. The arteries Inflammation of atypically located vermiform appendix may imitate inflammation of other organs which leads to diagnostic errors. This report explains the possible clinical implications due to location variability.
