Diagnostic Information
 
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
17 yo male presented with abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting. CT showed acute appendicitis without rupture. Although the radiologist noted ¿no appendicolith is present¿ in the findings, an appendicolith was described as being present in the body of the report. This report was later amended and noted to be a power scribe error. The patient was transferred to St. Joseph¿s Children¿s Hospital and was seen by a Pediatric surgeon the following morning. He was taken to surgery at that time where it was noted his appendix had ruptured.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
Appendectomy was performed and it was noted that the appendix had ruptured. The appendicolith was not acknowledged or removed during the first surgery. The patient later developed an abdominal abscess and drains were placed. Later the patient was taken back to surgery where the appendicolith was removed
Diagnostic Code : 
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
*NR
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
It is alleged that there was a misread on the 3/14/18 initial CT scan, which ultimately led to a delay in diagnosis and need for additional subsequent surgeries. The appendicolith was not acknowledged during the first surgery and had to be removed later. The patient recovered well and has no residual injuries.
Severity Of Injury
Temporary: Major - Burns, surgical material left, drug side effect, brain damage. Recovery delayed.
