Abstract
Clinically, right iliac fossa (RIF) pain can be related to acute abdomen, requiring urgent surgery, or to other medical disorder. Moreover, a proper approach to this condition will guide surgical management either, a priori, towards acute appendicitis, either towards more complex surgical condition. Differential diagnosis relies mainly on acute appendicitis, ureteral colic and gynecological pathology. However, less common but severe conditions, causing mainly RIF pain, have not to be discarded. On the other hand, cases of nonspecific abdominal pain not requiring specific treatment and may disappear spontaneously, can be found.
