Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain
My daughter just went to the doctor for abdominal pain. The white blood cell count was nominal. But the doctor saw a white spot on her appendix. He didn t know what it was, but thought perhaps she had had an appendicitis. Can you tell me what the spot could be and whether she needs further treatment.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and specific history.
It looks that your Doctor has asked for the Ultrasonography for pain in abdomen of your daughter.
The ''white spot'' on USG or CT in the appendix can be due to a fecolith, one of the important reasons for obstructive appendicitis.
.If it is so, consult a General Surgeon for clinico-pathological correlation and if positive get appendectomy done.
