Mamman M., 14

Mamman is a 14-year-old boy known for his lively and curious nature. He enjoys playing football with his friends and helping his father with small errands after school. Despite his family's financial challenges, Mamman remains cheerful and dreams of becoming a bussiness man so he can inspire other children in his community to be independent and have financial security. Mamman, a 14-year-old male, presented with a 2-day history of severe abdominal pain that started around the periumbilical area and migrated to the right lower quadrant. The pain was constant, worsened with movement, and was accompanied by nausea, vomiting and anorexia. He was brought to UMD for urgent medical attention. On presentation at our hospital and after further evaluation, Mamman was diagnosed with Acute Appendicitis. The doctor recommended emergency surgery to remove the inflamed appendix and prevent potential complications that may arise if treatment is delayed.

Mamman's health condition is in acute stage but he is in severe pain, discomfort,fever, vomiting with mild dehydration and he has a great chance of survival if treatment commence in good time.Usually,acute appendicitis can be easily removed surgically and patient is discharged home within 72 hours with good post operative management with antibiotics and good pain management.However,Delaying treatment can lead to a ruptured appendix,a more severe condition in which the appendix get bursts and leads to collection of pus,peritonitis,severe dehydration and sepsis which can be difficult to treat with all mechanism. An appendectomy, or surgical removal of the appendix, is typically the recommended treatment to ensure his recovery and prevent further complications.
