Labs, including CBC, CMP, and lipase, were unremarkable in the emergency department. Radiograph Perforated Duodenal Ulcer Radiograph of the chest in the AP projection shows large amount of free air under diaphragm (blue arrows), suggestive of intraperitoneal hollow viscus perforation. CT Perforated Duodenal Ulcer CT of the abdomen in the axial projection (I+, O-), at the level of the inferior liver edge, shows large amount of intraperitoneal free air (blue arrows) in lung window (b), and submucosal edema in the gastric antrum and duodenal bulb (red arrows), suggestive of a diagnosis of perforated bowel, most likely in the region of the duodenum. US Perforated Gastric Ulcer US of the abdomen shows perihepatic fluid (blue arrow) and free fluid in the right paracolic gutter (not shown), concerning for intraperitoneal pathology. Radiograph Perforated Gastric Ulcer Supine radiograph of the abdomen shows multiple air- filled dilated loops of large bowel, with air lucencies on both sides of the sigmoid colon wall (green arrows), consistent with Rigler sign and perforation. CT Perforated Gastric Ulcer CT of the abdomen in the axial (a) and sagittal (b) projections (I+, O-) shows diffuse wall thickening of the gastric body and antrum (green arrows) with an ulcerating lesion along the posterior wall of the stomach (red arrows), and free air tracking adjacent to the stomach (blue arrow), concerning for gastric ulcer perforation.

KAYLEENE E. PAGÁN CORREA, MD, FAAP Introduction y tummy hurts.” That is a simple statement that shows a common complaint from children who seek “M 1 care in an urgent care or emergency department. But the diagnosis in such patients can be challenging for a clinician because of the diverse etiologies. Acute abdominal pain is commonly caused by self-limiting con- ditions but also may herald serious medical or surgical emergencies, such as appendicitis. Making a timely diag- nosis is important to reduce the rate of complications but it can be challenging, particularly in infants and young children. Excellent history-taking skills accompanied by a careful, thorough physical exam are key to making the diagnosis or at least making a reasonable conclusion about a patient’s care.2 This article discusses the differential diagnosis for acute abdominal pain in children and offers guidance for initial evaluation and management of pediatric patients presenting with this complaint. © Getty Images Contrary to visceral pain, somatoparietal pain is well Pathophysiology localized, intense (sharp), and associated with one side Abdominal pain localization is confounded by the or the other because the nerves associated are numerous, nature of the pain receptors involved and may be clas- myelinated and transmit to a specific dorsal root ganglia. sified as visceral, somatoparietal, or referred pain.

ABSTRACT Diverticular disease though being a common entity in large bowel is recently noted to occur more proximally as well. In the jejunum, the mucosal outpouchings, called as pseudo-diverticulae, occurs with an incidence of 0.5-1.5%. Diagnosed incidentally as majority of them remain asymptomatic. When they are symptomatic, dyspepsia and bloating, recurrent abdominal cramping, malabsorption and megaloblastic anemia occurs. On occasions it is not uncommon for patients to present with hemorrhage, infections, obstruction or perforation. Perforation, being a rare presentation occurs in less than 6% of the cases. We present a case of a 70 year old male, who presented as acute abdomen, found to have isolated jejunal diverticular perforation intraoperatively. Keywords: Jejunal diverticula, Perforation, Acute abdomen, Pseudo-diverticulae INTRODUCTION for 2 days. He also gave history of dyspepsia and bloating following food consumption.

We describe the unusual case of a 28-year-old female, who was 7 days postpartum and presented with features of peritonitis that were www.RadiologyCases.com www.RadiologyCases.com initially missed despite supporting radiological evidence. The causes of pneumoperitoneum are discussed. In the postpartum period the female genital tract provides an alternative route by which gas can enter the abdominal cavity and cause pneumoperitoneum. In the postpartum period it is important to remember that the clinical signs of peritonism, guarding and rebound tenderness may be diminished or subtle due to abdominal wall laxity. CASE REPORT Journalof Radiology Case Reports was performed (Fig. 1) and the patient referred to the CASE REPORT gynaecologist who requested an ultrasound of the abdomen A 28-year-old woman presented to the emergency department and pelvis to rule out retained products of conception (Fig. 2). with a two-day history of generalised abdominal pain.
