Acute appendicitis, characterized as periumbilical pain, migrating to the right iliac fossa, is one of the most common acute surgical conditions. It is usually diagnosed on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms. However, some patients may present atypically and are prone to be misdiagnosed. We report this first case of acute appendicitis who presented initially with complain of diarrhea accompanying hypokalemia. There have been no published data suggesting its existence in any parts of the world.
