Acute appendicitis is a frequent abdominal pathology, more frequent in the childhood.
The pathophysiology of acute appendicitis is obstruction of the appendix lumen and distension due to continued mucosal
secretion. The second step is a rapid multiplication of resident bacteria, excretion of toxine and wall infiammation.

stool. Another cause may be foreign body.
