Abstract
When an emergency medicine physician evaluates a child with abdominal pain and a history of appendectomy, appendicitis is often excluded from the differential. We present a case of a 16-year-old boy who developed stump appendicitis 3 years after laparoscopic appendectomy. Knowledge of this rare phenomenon in children can lead to timely diagnosis and avoid the significant additional morbidity associated with perforation of the stump.
