Appendicitis
Appendicitis is most commonly caused by a hard collection (usually of feces) which obstructs the entrance to the appendix. This causes the appendix to swell and as mucus or pus is produced, pressure within the appendix increases and causes pain. This pressure compresses the blood vessels of the appendix walls which then start to die. This loss of appendix wall integrity can lead to the appendix bursting.
