Our study on @entity697 in adults aimed to report current data in Yaounde, Cameroon. This retrospective study included 323 @entity1 , with 185 @entity1 against 138 @entity1 (sex ratio: 1.37). Mean age was 28.3 years old. Incidence was of 4.6%. Symptoms appeared within a delay of 3 to 4 days and consisted of the triad: abdominal @entity158 (97.5%), @entity391 (44%) and @entity448 (39.9%). 99.7% of the @entity1 presented with @entity221 whereas defence on palpation in the right iliac fossa was noted in 307 @entity1 . Rectal examination was evocative in 92.7% of the cases. Hypemeutrophilia was found in 84.9% of the @entity1 . Plain abdominal radiography (PAR) orientated the diagnosis in 74.3% of cases; echography was very useful in abscesses (6,5%). 96.7% of the @entity1 underwent surgery within an average time of 48 hours. McBurney incision was performed in 232 cases. Appendice in the inner latero caecal position was predominant in 243 cases. In seven cases (2.2%), appendice was normal; 2 Meckel's @entity7261 were discovered (0.6%). We carried out 309 anterograde appendectomies, 317 irvaginations of the appendicular root and 14 epiplooplasties. 302 histological exams were performed; @entity698 were ranking first: 167 cases. Morbidity reached 14.2% dominated by sepsis (71.7%). The mortality rate was 0.6%. A better diagnostic approach together with a better sensitisation of the population may shorten surgical delays inducing a decrease of morbidity of @entity697 in Cameroon.
