Symptoms commonly include right lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia (symptom), decreased appetite. However, approximately 40% of people do not have these typical symptoms.

Appendicitis is caused by a blockage of the Lumen (anatomy), hollow portion of the appendix. This is most commonly due to a Fecaloma, calcified "stone" made of feces. Inflamed Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, lymphoid tissue from a viral infection, parasites, gallstone, or Neoplasm, tumors may also cause the blockage.
