ABSTRACT: Left sided appendicitis is a rare pathology. Two situations may explain the
occurrence of the disease: situs inversus or midgut malrotation. Its diagnosis is
based on clinical presentation but confirmed by radiological examination. Our observation
is based on a left-sided acute appendicitis with a midgut malrotation in a 31-year-old
patient with no clinical history.
