Appendix not where it is supposed to be?
It had a cat scan done and they asked me if i had it removed and i said no, so they did another and found it is in what they call Morrison's Pouch, some space that is supposed be be empty but my appendix is there instead and snuggling my liver....is that normal? Can that cause problems?

Taryn, I never heard of this, and I've been looking online for more info. Mary

It's not abnormal but not common. There are a ton of variants to the human body, and things can be where there aren't normally expected to be. It won't cause problems, but keep it in mind and make sure your doctors are aware of it because if you do ever have appendicitis, you will have an atypical presentation.
