Acute appendicitis and small intestinal obstructions are frequent surgical problems encountered by emergency departments. Acute appendicitis rarely presents as a finding of small intestinal obstruction. A sixty-eight-year-old woman and a forty-two-year-old man consulted the emergency department with findings of intestinal obstruction. The reasons for intestinal obstructions were paralytic in one patient, due to perforated appendix; in the other, mechanic, due to the obstruction of the terminal ileum by a long appendix. Both cases underwent appendectomies, and their post-operational periods were uncomplicated. As the most frequent surgical acute abdominal syndrome etiology, appendicitis may appear with unexpected clinical manifestations.
