A 51-year-old man presented to the ED with sharp abdominal pain localised to his left lower quadrant. The pain came on rapidly the day before, when he took his dog for a walk after dinner. The pain is non-radiating and worse on movement, but he has no other symptoms. Past medical history is unremarkable. Physical Examination: His vitals were within normal limits, his abdomen was soft with no herniae or scrotal abnormalities, but he was distinctly tender in the left lower quadrant.
FBC, UEC, and urinalysis were within normal limits. Following a surgical review, a CRP was ordered and the following CT abdomen was obtained. What probable diagnosis can be inferred from the CT abdomen? How can this patient be managed? *This case is from the Docplexus Editorial Team and is meant for educative purpose only.
