Abstract

We report a case of perforated non-retrocecal appendix in a child resulting in an infection with multiple pelvic and right lower extremity abscesses tracking along the ileo-femoral vessels from the pelvis to the foot. The only predisposing factor in the patient’s history was juvenile dermatomyositis quiescent for seven years on no medications.
