Abdominal CT showing the gas-liquid levels and dilatation of the intestinal tract and an obscured appendiceal area revealing edema of this area (circle).. Note: However, when we reviewed the CT repeatedly after the operation, the images appeared to show that the appendix was shaped like a horseshoe, a finding that was easily ignored.. Abbreviation: CT, computed tomography.
