Aim: To determine the ability of ileocolic artery (ICA) and ileocolic vein (ICV) diameter measurements in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
Patients and Methods: ICA, ICV, abdominal aorta (AA) and inferior vena cava (IVC) diameters were recorded in 123 patients. Patients were grouped according to the presence of acute appendicitis clinically-radiologically. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to obtain the cutoff values ​​in terms of differentiation of appendicitis and control groups.
Results: ICA, ICV, ICA/AA and ICV/IVC measurements differed significantly between the appendicitis (n=75) and control (n=48) groups (p

Key words: Ileocolic artery; ileocolic vein; acute appendicitis; abdominal; computed tomography.
