appendicitis is the inflammation of vermiform appendix( - citis = inflammation)
pathophysiology
due to viral infection and dehydration or fecalith, the appendix may obstruct as a result of lymphoid hyperplasia of submucosal follicles. so the organism trapped begin to multiply and appendix becomes distended. due to increased intraluminal pressure venous drainage become obstructed and as a result, appendix becomes congested and ischemic. The inflamed appendix due to infection and ischemia progress to necrosis and gangrene and then perforates. it takes only 72 hrs from necrosis to perforation.
after perforation, inflamed fluid and bacteria released into the peritoneal cavity and causes peritonitis.
