Key words: Peritonitis, Immobility
Two cases of peritonitis with atypical presentation: peritonitis in younger children may be particularly challenging to recognise due to the lack of specific signs and the child’s inability to express or localise pain clearly. Immobility is an uncommon but highly suggestive sign of peritoneal irritation and of a serious condition such as peritonitis.
