2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K35. 31: Acute appendicitis with localized peritonitis and gangrene, without perforation.
Salpingitis is the most common cause of acute periappendicitis. While inflammatory bowel disease and Meckel diverticulum are both possible causes, they are less common. Acute appendicitis by definition will involve the mucosa of the appendix. You receive an appendix for microscopic examination.
A rupture spreads infection throughout your abdomen (peritonitis). Possibly life-threatening, this condition requires immediate surgery to remove the appendix and clean your abdominal cavity. A pocket of pus that forms in the abdomen. If your appendix bursts, you may develop a pocket of infection (abscess).
K35. 33 - Acute appendicitis with perforation and localized peritonitis, with abscess | ICD-10-CM.
acute appendicitis (two forms: acute ulcero-phlegmonous appendicitis with or without perforation and acute superficial appendicitis), 2. chronic appendicitis, 3. lymphatic hyperplasia, 4. submucosal fibrosis, 5.
The stages of appendicitis can be divided into early, suppurative, gangrenous, perforated, phlegmonous, spontaneous resolving, recurrent, and chronic.
Appendicitis may be caused by various infections such as virus, bacteria, or parasites, in your digestive tract. Or it may happen when the tube that joins your large intestine and appendix is blocked or trapped by stool. Sometimes tumors can cause appendicitis. The appendix then becomes sore and swollen.
A ruptured appendix is always considered an emergency and requires immediate treatment. If left untreated, a ruptured appendix can lead to widespread infection, abscess, sepsis (an infection in the bloodstream), and even death.
As the appendix becomes more swollen and inflamed, it will irritate the lining of the abdominal wall, known as the peritoneum. This causes localized, sharp pain in the right lower part of the abdomen. The pain tends to be more constant and severe than the dull, aching pain that occurs when symptoms start.

Periappendicitis alone is found in 1%–5% of appendices resected for clinically acute appendicitis, the majority of which are attributable to salpingitis [2].
The natural history of appendicitis has been described in three stages: (1) a normal appendix, (2) uncomplicated acute appendicitis, and (3) complicated appendicitis, according to their macroscopic and microscopic appearance and clinical relevance.
Rovsing's sign is a clinical finding that is indicative of acute appendicitis (the inflammation and possible infection of the appendix). A positive Rovsing's sign is characterized by right lower abdominal pain upon palpation of the left side of the lower abdomen.
Serositis occurs when your serous membranes are inflamed. This makes it hard for your organs to smoothly slide around in your body, causing pain and other symptoms.
