Abstract

Abstract The simultaneous development of acute appendicitis and ruptured Graafian follicle with intraperitoneal hemorrhage is exceedingly infrequent. A review of the literature has shown that the condition has been scantily recorded, and we have been unable to find any record of a large series of cases bearing on this subject.

Our purpose in writing this paper is to record our experiences and difficulties and the results of treatments, rather than to describe all aspects of this unusual occurrence. Also, in view of the apparent rarity of the condition and
