Facts About Appendix
Appendicitis is a serious medical condition in which the appendix — a small, finger-shaped organ attached to your large intestine — becomes swollen and inflamed. It’s not always clear what causes appendicitis. Often, appendicitis is probably the result of an obstruction of the area inside the appendix called the appendiceal lumen (the interior of the tube of the appendix), or appendix lumen.
There are numerous issues that can cause appendix luminal blockage, including:
- Appendicoliths or fecaliths, which are calcified fecal deposits also known as “appendix stones” (this is more common in children than adults)
- Intestinal worms or parasites, including pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis)
- Irritation and ulcers in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract resulting from long-lasting disorders, such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
- Abdominal injury or trauma
- Enlarged lymph tissue of the wall of the appendix, which is typically the result of infections in the GI tract
- Benign or malignant tumors
- Various foreign objects, such as stones, bullets, air-gun pellets, and pins
