Core Tip	Abdominal pain is a common symptom after colonoscopy and is generally considered to be caused by perforation or electrocoagulation syndrome. Acute appendicitis is often ignored as a differential diagnosis. This case report aims to improve clinicians’ awareness of possible appendicitis after colonoscopy. The causal relationship between colonoscopy and acute appendicitis remains unclear. However, regardless of whether it is defined as a complication, it should be differentiated from colonoscopy-associated abdominal pain, particularly in the right lower abdomen.
