• Inguinal Lymphadenopathy

  The classic CT scan findings in patients with CA include a dilated appendix, periappendiceal fat stranding, appendiceal wall thickening with surrounding edema, calcified appendolith(s), abscess, phlegmon, and inguinal lymphadenopathy [Rao et al. 1998; [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Sulfur Granules

  The histological hallmark is the presence of “sulfur-granules” that are commonly considered diagnostic of actinomyceal infection, but are present in only 50% of cases [ 3 ]. [omicsonline.org]

  Increased pain occurs with increased physical exertion, coughing, sneezing, defecation, errors in diet. Dyspeptic disorders. During exacerbation may be nausea, vomiting. [en.medicine-worlds.com]

• Abdominal Pain

  We present a case of a man who experienced night sweats, abdominal pain and fever for over 3 months, with incomplete response to broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Dyspepsia

  He states that we must determine whether this is a primary disorder, a highly selected group of very ill patients with severe functional dyspepsia, or a collection of different problems leading to a final common pathway of chronic unexplainable nausea [journalsblog.gastro.org]

  Clues to the differential diagnosis include recent sore throat (mesenteric adenitis), previous episode (Crohn’s disease), weight loss (Crohn’s disease, caecal carcinoma), dyspepsia (cholecystitis, perforated ulcer), arthralgia (Yersinia enterocolitica [intechopen.com]

  Secondary findings include hepatic steatosis, small liver cysts, advanced arteriosclerosis, reperfusion of the umbilical vein and some bilateral dystelecatic changes of the dorso-basal lung parenchyma CONCLUSION: Clinical history, examination, lab results [radiopaedia.org]

Its resection, regardless of whether or not there is an inflammation after surgery, increases the risk of Crohn's Disease and worsens the prognosis of this pathology, so appendectomy should be avoided in the absence of appendicitis. [jcol.elsevier.es]

IMAGES See Images What Is the Prognosis of Appendicitis? With uncomplicated appendicitis, most people recover with no long-term complications. [emedicinehealth.com]

For a ruptured appendix, the prognosis is more serious. Decades ago, a rupture was often fatal. Surgery and antibiotics have lowered the death rate to nearly zero, but repeated operations and a long recovery may be necessary. [merckmanuals.com]
