Abstract

In immunocompetent children, complications of varicella are rare. Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most exceptional complications of chickenpox.

We intend with this clinical case to remember an extremely rare complication of varicella, which is at the same time the most common cause of abdominal surgery in children.
