Appendicitis
Appendicitis is inflammation of the Appendix (anatomy), appendix. Symptoms commonly include right lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever and anorexia (symptom), decreased appetite. However, approximately 40% of people do not have these typical symptoms. Severe complications of a ruptured appendix include widespread, agonising and awful peritonitis, inflammation of the inner lining of the abdominal wall and sepsis. Appendicitis is primarily caused by a blockage of the Lumen (anatomy), hollow portion in the appendix. This blockage typically results from a Fecalith, faecolith, a calcified "stone" made of feces. Some studies show a correlation between appendicoliths and disease severity. Other factors such as inflamed Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, lymphoid tissue from a viral infection, Human parasite, intestinal parasites, gallstone, or Neoplasm, tumors may also lead to this blockage.
