    Abstract

    It is estimated that accuracy of clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis is only between 76 percent and 92 percent. Parameters like outer diameter of appendix on ultrasonography, and biochemical parameters like raised CRP and hyperbilirubinemia helps to improve the accuracy of pre- operative diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Our objective is to compare the outer diameter of the inflamed appendix on ultrasonography, values of CRP and total serum bilirubin in complicated versus uncomplicated appendicitis.
