We frequently encounter
abdominal pain in outpatient clinics. Approximately 5% of emergency department
visits are due to abdominal pain . Approximately 10% of these patients have
serious life-threatening conditions or conditions requiring surgery. Therefore,
abdominal pain requires a correct and rapid approach. In a patient presenting
with acute abdominal pain, frequently encountered diseases should first come to
mind, but serious conditions should also be kept in mind. The evaluation should
begin with the location of the pain, which has a very strong predictive value
in diseases such as acute appendicitis. When making the evaluation, vascular
diseases such as mesenteric ischemia, aortic dissection, and diseases such as
perforation and ileus that require urgent surgery should first be excluded.
Meanwhile, frequently overlooked anterior abdominal wall diseases such as
shingles and abdominal muscle spasms should not be forgotten.
