Abstract
Right-sided diverticulitis is a. frequently misdiagnosed disease that can b e mistaken for a number of other conditions. Acute appendicitis is one of t he most common misdiagnoses because of its similar symptoms and imaging fin dings. We report a case in which right-sided diverticulitis was interpreted as appendicitis on ultrasonography.
