Axial CT images (a-f) display relevant sectional images from the cranial to the caudal end. A tubular structure of 15-mm diameter consistent with an inflamed appendix is visible posterosuperior to the cecum, and appears to extend superomedially (a-d; white arrow). The cecum is located considerably caudal to its normal location (e, f; white arrow).
