Appendix Cases

That is acute appendicitis? Acute appendicitis is an inflammation of the Appendix. Cecal appendix or vermiform appendix as its name indicates it is a structure in the form of worm that derives from the first portion of the large intestine. Its size is variable, about 10 centimeters, and is located in the lower part of the abdomen. The appendix has a channel on its interior which communicates with the large intestine where there are semifluidas stools. Acute appendicitis is caused, in the majority of cases generally, by a / (fecalith) fossilized excrement that clogged the appendicular channel. Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of acute abdominal pain and its treatment is surgical and emergency.

As I was mentioned earlier a pre-disponente factor is the obstruction of the light of the adjacent organ, sometimes by a/fecalith (fossilized droppings), but such obstruction is not in all cases. In some cases inflammation can be local or unknown source many times, although in some cases it was found blocked by a foreign body, among them stand out: fruit, parasitic seed.
