Dr Vinod, Dr Tirou Aroul, Dr Saravana Kumar, Dr Sowmiya
Abstract :
The appendix is a mid–gut organ identified during 8th week of gestation as an outpouching in the caecum. The concept of it being considered as a vestigial organ is in decreasing trends owing to the presence of lymphoid tissue in its submucosa. The diagnosis of acute appendicitis remains a clinical paradigm and warrants an urgent and emergent surgery in the emergency department .The most important causative factor is luminal obstruction secondary to long standing inflammation caused by E.coli, K.pneumoniae, Streptococcus ,Enterococcus and the rare ones being actinomycosis ,ascariasis and carcinoid.
