Abstract
In the realm of common surgical emergencies, acute appendicitis rarely surprises clinicians. However, this case report explains an exceptional discovery in a 46-year-old man presenting with seemingly routine appendicitis at Hamad International Hospital, Doha, Qatar. Contrast-enhanced CT imaging revealed not only a perforated appendix but also ileocolic vein thrombosis with unique coagulation profile - a case presentation previously rarely documented in medical literature. This report highlights the critical role of comprehensive diagnostics and the need for vigilance in seemingly straightforward cases, potentially reshaping our approach to acute appendicitis management.
