    AbstractA 12-year-old girl presented with lower abdominal pain, nonbilious vomiting, and a severe secretory diarrhea. Infectious and noninfectious etiologies were ruled out, and she was found to have perforated acute appendicitis. It is essential to consider acute appendicitis in the differential diagnosis for secretory diarrhea and abdominal pain in the pediatric population.Copyright 2002, Elsevier Science (USA).
