Abstract:
Diverticulum of the vermiform appendix is infrequently encountered, and in the absence of inflammation, it has been reported to be asymptomatic. Furthermore, hemorrhage from an appendiceal diverticulum is extremely rare, and has not yet reported in our country. We report a case of hemorrhage occurring in appendiceal diverticulum.
