Vermiform appendix is an anatomical structure, which due to its topographical relations usually causes many complications, especially in inflammation such as appendicitis. One of the manifestations of the inflammatory processes is pain, which may have different location. It could be probably a result of the neuron stimulation. The nerve formation and distribution of the vermiform appendix is still unknown in fine details and is a subject of further studies (Fig. 8, Ref.12).
