The diagnosis of acute appendicitis remains a difficult task for even the experienced surgeon. For this reason every supplementary examination affords help for the surgeon its diagnosis. The goal of our study was to evaluate the significance of ultrasonography (USG) in diagnosing right lower quadrant abdominal pain. 204 patients admitted for suspect acute appendicitis were evaluated retrospectively. The accuracy of USG was studied by comparing this finding with preoperative, histopathological findings respectively. In comparison leucocytosis was also studied. In our studied cohort, USG examination had a sensitivity of 88.4% and specificity of 93.0%. Leucocytosis for diagnosis gave a sensitivity of 88.6% and specificity of 60.0%.
