Varied anatomy
Length: 5~10 cm, narrow lumen
hac area.
第十二页，共36页。
Pathophysiology
As inflammation continues, the serosa and adjacent structures become inflamed
This triggers somatic pain fibers, innervating the peritoneal structures
Typically causing pain in the RLQ
第十三页，共36页。
Pathophysiology
The change in stimulation form visceral to somatic pain fibers explains the classic migration of pain in the periumbilical area to the RLQ seen with acute appendicitis.
第十四页，共36页。
Pathophysiology
Exceptions exist in the classic presentation due to anatomic variability of the appendix
Appendix can be retrocecal causing the pain to localize to the right flank
In pregnancy, the appendix can be shifted and patients can present with RUQ pain

Pathophysiology
In some males, retroileal appendicitis can irritate the ureter and cause testicular pain.

Manifestations
As the illness progresses RLQ localization typically occurs
RLQ pain was 81 % sensitive and 53% specific for diagnosis
