1 Prof. András Palkó MD, PhD Role of imaging in the evaluation of the acute abdomen Faculty of General Medicine University of Szeged Hungary 1

2 Definition Sudden onset of severe symptoms requiring emergency medical or surgical treatment, typically characterized by intensive abdominal pain may be associated with: muscular defense paralytic ileus or hyper- (retro-) peristalsis nausea, vomiting, meteorism, hiccups fever, collapse, shock 2

3 Potential causes perforation obstruction ischemia bleeding infection peritoneal irritation GI paralysis & defanse musculaire 3

4 Acute abdomen top 8 1. Acute appendicitis 2. Acute cholecystitis 3. Small bowel obstruction (SBO) 4. Acute gynecological disease 5. Acute pancreatitis 6. Renal colic 7. Perforated peptic ulcer 8. Acute diverticulitis account for 90 % of patients referred to hospital 4

5 Role of imaging After stabilizing the patient s condition rapid diagnosis and therapeutic decision is essential to minimize progression and reduce mortality. Clinical presentation, history, and lab test results are too often non-specific. Imaging examinations are of utmost importance to establish diagnosis. 5

6 What s wrong? clinical findings 6

7 Acute pancreatitis Duodenal ulcer Bowel obstruction Abdominal aortic aneurysm Cholecystitis Calculous Acalculous Emphysematous Hepatitis Liver abscess Spontaneous rupture of a hepatic neoplasm Right-sided LB diverticulitis Retrocecal appendicitis Bowel obstruction SBO Adhesion Crohn s Neoplasm Hernia Radiation Miscellaneous LBO Carcinoma Volvulus Diverticulitis Perforation Peptic ulcer Diverticulitis Iatrogenic Bowel ischemia Mesenteric artery Thromboembolism Atherosclerosis Dissection Mesenteric vein Hypercoagulable Neoplastic Strangulation, volvulus Infectious Gastroenterocoliti s Pseudomembranou s colitis IBD Ulcerative colitis Crohn s disease Urological Urinary tract obstruction Gynecological PID Ovarian vein thrombosis Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst Rupture of ovarian dermoid Ovarian torsion Rupture of ectopic pregnancy Endometriosis Necrotic uterine leiomyoma Intestinal Acute appendicitis IBD Mesenteric adenitis Perforated carcinoma Epiploic appendagitis Omental infarction Cecal diverticulitis Infectious ileocolitis Sigmoid diverticulitis Obstructive sigmoid carcinoma 7
