An 8-year-old girl attended an accident and emergency department and complained of generalised abdominal pain and low grade fever for three days. Her past medical history was unremarkable. On physical examination, there was localised tenderness and guarding over the right side of the abdomen. An abdominal X-ray was taken (Figure 1). Subsequently, ultrasound (USG) examination of the abdomen was also performed (Figure 2a & 2b).
