Abstract
Acute abdominal pain is one of the commonest prevalent grievances in children, and it frequently requires emergency room diagnosis and management. Abdominal pain in children differs with age, concomitant symptoms, and pain site. While most cases of acute abdominal embarrassment are self-limiting and benevolent, there are certain diseases that can be life-threatening and necessitate instant care, such as appendicitis, intussusception, or intestinal obstruction. To decide the cause of acute abdominal pain and recognize children with surgical conditions, scrupulous history taking and numerous physical checkups are mandatory.The most important and realistic first goal in the evaluation of acute AP is to distinguish between surgical and nonsurgical situations, which are further divided into urgent and non-urgent categories. A thorough history and physical examination, laboratory investigations to evaluate comorbidity, and imaging scans are usually used for these purposes. Management decisions should necessitate teamwork between the emergency room physician, a surgeon, and a radiologist. Consecutivereassessment and symptomatic treatment with hardworking follow-up are necessary for management as soon aspossible in urgent disorder.
