Abstract:

The vermiform appendix is the most variable abdominal organ in term of position, extent and relations. The location of appendix is important when it comes to clinical presentation of a patient with appendicitis. Variation in the appendix with adhesion was noted in 55 years old male cadaver during regular dissection classes of undergraduates. Sub- hepatic position of appendix might congest the sub-hepatic region and minimize the intestinal movements. The knowledge of its variations in position is important because in appendicitis it may create iatrogenic complications.
