The traps that quietly cost points
These are the point-loss patterns iHuman never tells you about. We map every one for this case.
⚠
Classic progression: periumbilical pain → RLQ (McBurney's point) migration — 50% have this pattern
⚠
Alvarado (MANTRELS) score helps risk-stratify: ≥ 7 = high probability, surgical consultation
⚠
CT abdomen/pelvis with IV contrast is most accurate imaging in adults
⚠
Pediatric: ultrasound first (to avoid radiation) — CT if ultrasound inconclusive
⚠
Appendectomy within 24 hours of diagnosis — laparoscopic preferred
