  • Title: Acute abdomen. Laboratory evaluation and imaging.
    Author: Schwartz MZ, Bulas D.
    Journal: Semin Pediatr Surg; 1997 May; 6(2):65-73. PubMed ID: 9159856.
    Abstract:
    The child with an acute abdomen requires a thorough history and physical examination followed by a focused laboratory and imaging evaluation. The laboratory evaluation is more beneficial in determining management than in establishing diagnosis. Ultrasonography has become increasingly useful in the evaluation of the child with acute abdominal pain.
