 Results. The patient, despite periodic atypical complaints of discomfort in the right iliac region, did not seek medical attention and was not examined. Operated urgently after performing MSCT AC. Intraoperatively, a rupture of the MA was diagnosed with formation of FRS, which significantly complicated the course of the operation and the course of the postoperative period. Appendectomy, drainage of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space were performed. Gradual improvement and recovery.
