Resumo: Acute appendicitis is the most common abdominal surgical emergency. Since the work of Fitz in the XIX century it has been assumed that luminal obstruction is the main pathological event. However, this theory has been recently challenged by some new insights that suggest that an allergic reaction can be one of the possible causes or co-factors. The current knowledge on the aetiology of acute appendicitis was reviewed in this article, with a special emphasis on allergic features.

Desde o trabalho paradigmático de Fitz, no final do século XX, assumiu-se que a obstrução do lúmen apendicular é o principal evento patológico. Esta teoria foi questionada recentemente, pois alguns estudos sugerem que a alergia pode ser uma causa ou co-factor na etiologia da apendicite aguda. Os autores procedem a revisão da etiologia da apendicite aguda, com particular enfase na reação alérgica.    Sociedade Portuguesa de Cirurgia2022-03-13info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34635/rpc.893https://doi.org/10.34635/rpc.893Revista Portuguesa de Cirurgia; No 52 (2022): Número 52 - Janeiro 2022; 1-10Revista Portuguesa de Cirurgia; No 52 (2022): Número 52 - Janeiro 2022; 1-102183-11651646-6918reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://revista.spcir.com/index.php/spcir/article/view/893https://revista.spcir.com/index.php/spcir/article/view/893/631Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Portuguesa de Cirurgiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarvalho, NunoBorges, FilipeCosta, BeatrizMatos Costa, Paulo2024-03-14T22:05:09Zoai:revista.spcir.com:article/893Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T04:00:50.212663Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
