Acute Appendicitis (AA) is an inflammatory process of the cecal (or vermiform) appendix, frequently due to theobstruction of the lumen of the appendix.It is also associated with a high risk of developing ileus,peritonitis,abdominalabscess if it does not have a fast and timely treatment.Technological tools such as CT,ultrasound and MRI are currentlythe ideal complement for the diagnosis of AA,which is initially based on the clinic with the Alvarado Scale.
