The incidence of acute appendicitis is higher in developed countries than developing countries, but in three to four decades decreased significantly, ie 100 cases per 100,000 population form the 52 per 100,000 population. This incident may be due to dietary changes, namely the developing countries become less fiber foods.According to epidemiological data of acute appendicitis is rare in infants, increasing at puberty, and reached its peak during adolescence and early 20s, whereas this figure decreased in adulthood. The incidence of appendicitis as much between women and men during prapuber, whereas in adolescence and young adulthood ratio becomes 3:2, then these high numbers decreased in pria.1
