OverviewAppendicitis is a potentially life-threatening condition that affects the appendix. The appendix is a small, twisted piece of intestine located near the cecum. The appendix can become infected, causing inflammation and swelling. If the appendix ruptures, it can lead to appendicitis. Appendicitis is a medical emergency that can be life-threatening if not treated quickly. It is a very common condition, affecting nearly one in ten Americans at some point in their life. The good news is that appendicitis is very treatable with antibiotics if it is caught early. However, if appendicitis is not detected and untreated, it can lead to a life-threatening condition called peritonitis. Appendicitis is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that most commonly affects children. The appendix is a small, fatty, worm-shaped organ located in the lower right side of the abdomen. The appendix can become inflamed if the intestine becomes infected or if the appendix itself becomes blocked. If the appendix is inflamed, it can cause severe pain and vomiting. Appendicitis can be fatal if it's not treated quickly.
