Abstract

In this case study, a third-trimester primigravida faced the rare challenge of a perforated appendix followed by successful perinatal outcome. Despite inconclusive imaging results from ultrasound and MRI, clinical progression guided the diagnosis. Timely intervention via emergency laparotomy, involving obstetric and gastro-surgical teams, averted further complications, ensuring a favorable outcome for both mother and baby.
