description Hydronephrosis is a rare complication of acute appendicitis. We present a case of missed appendicitis in a 52-year-old female which presented as a right-sided hydronephrosis. 2 days after admission to the Department of Urology CT revealed acute appendicitis for what open appendectomy was performed.

Urologists, surgeons, and emergency physicians should be aware of this rare complication of atypical acute appendicitis.
