Regarding the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, all the following are true EXCEPT:
A. Vital signs are usually abnormal, even early in the course of acute appendicitis.
B. Rebound is usually elicited only after the appendix has ruptured or infarcted.
C. Rovsing's sign is pain in the right lower quadrant upon palpation of the left lower
quadrant.
D. The obturator sign is pain upon flexion and internal rotation of the hip.
E. The psoas sign is pain upon extension of the hip.
A. Vital signs are usually abnormal, even early in the course of acute appendicitis.
The answer is A. The presentation of acute appendicitis varies tremendously. Early in its
course, vital signs including temperature may be normal. Once perforation has occurred, the
rate of low-grade fever (<38 C) increases to about 40%. Other variations in presentation
include pain in the right upper quadrant, typically from a retrocecal or retroiliac appendix.
