Abstract:
Introduction :Appendicitis accounts for 25% of non-obstetrical surgical emergencies during pregnancy. its diagnosis remains relatively difficult given a range of differential diagnoses and the altered status of the appendix during pregnancy. delay in management remains the main FDR for maternal-fetal mortality. The aim of our work is to describe the particularities of appendicitis in the pregnant woman in terms of its evolution and clinical diagnosis, the performance and limitations of conventional diagnostic tools during pregnancy, to describe the particularities of an appendectomy intervention during pregnancy and the risks incurred for the mother and the fetus by appendicitis and its treatment. Material and method : This is a Retrospective Study on 6 cases carried out at the level of the Gyneco-Obstetrics Department 1, CHU Hassan II Fez over a 9-year period from January 2011 to December 2020. Conclusion :The symptoms of A.A resemble the symptoms of pregnancy, namely: anorexia, vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain. The delay of surgery results in an increased risk of perforation which in turn contributes to an increased risk of: Abortion, premature delivery, higher rate of maternal complications. Prompt diagnosis can improve perinatal health.
