Summary

Acute abdomen can be defined as "A syndrome induced by wide variety of pathological conditions that require emergent medical or more often surgical management" \[1\].There are a plethora of causes that can lead to acute abdomen in children, they vary depending on the ages of the children and can be divided into diseases that can be treated with medical care and those in which emergency surgical intervention must be considered \[2\]. Ultrasonography is the initial choice in the diagnosis of the different causes of acute abdomen in children \[3, 4\]. It is very useful as it is non-invasive, cost- effective, repetitive, with no radiation exposure, as good as laparoscopy, can be done even in patients with scarred abdomen \[5\].
