Core Tip	To study the clinical features and computed tomography (CT) findings of appendiceal diverticulitis, we retrospectively reviewed 451 patients who had undergone appendectomy in our institution. Among 451 patients, 44 (9.7%) were diagnosed with appendiceal diverticulitis. Patients with appendiceal diverticulitis were older and had a longer duration of illness. Perforation rates in patients with appendiceal diverticulitis were higher. CT findings suggestive of appendiceal diverticulitis included the absence of a fluid collection in the appendix, absence of an appendicolith (92% vs 52%, P = 0.004), and abscess formation. These findings make it possible to clinically differentiate appendiceal diverticulitis from acute appendicitis.
