CT Findings of Unusual Causes of Acute Abdomen

Abstract

Acute abdomen is one of the most common problems that radiologists face in daily practice. Imaging is used as the last stop before laparotomy, and computed tomography (CT) is now almost always the first step both in helping solve various difficult, urgent cases and in deciding on the management for the pain. In this study, we review a number of rare cases of abdominal pain in which the preliminary diagnosis could not be made clinically, but where CT images revealed the causes.
