Summary

The term "acute abdomen" is often used to describe the manifestations of any serious intraperitoneal disease, which may indicates surgical intervention. Acute abdomen in pregnancy accounts for approximately 7-10% of all abdominal emergencies.

Several pathologies could contribute acute abdominal pain during pregnancy. They include obstetric and non-obstetric causes. As for the non-obstetric causes , any gastrointestinal or urological disorders could be presented by an acute abdominal pain.

In pregnancy, several factors overlap and making the diagnosis challenging. These factors include the distorted anatomy by the growing uterus that displaces intraperitoneal structures. Additionally, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain are considered the normal course during pregnancy especially at the first trimester. Moreover, sure diagnosis must be achieved to operate in a pregnant woman with more possible morbidity and mortality for the mother and\\or fetus.
