Appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdomen with life time risk between 6 and 8% and it’s a most common non obstetric surgical emergency during pregnancy. Appendicitis is claimed to be unknown in the villages of India and China in paper by A. M. Spencer. The reason is simply due to the fact that diagnostic facilities do not exist and cases are not recognized. So diagnosing acute appendicitis accurately and efficiently can reduce morbidity and mortality from perforation and other complications. Surgical intervention is the first choice for appendicitis with medical management being reserved for special situations.

Stump appendicitis is a rare delayed complication of incomplete appendectomy. The clinical symptoms and signs are like acute appendicitis. The possibility of stump appendicitis is not clear to all clinicians. It represents a diagnostic dilemma with incidence of one in 50,000 cases. We report how we encountered diagnostic dilemma during the management of a 30 years old male patient of acute abdomen with history of appendectomy done for acute appendicitis even years back.

In order to explore the effective diagnosis method of gynecological acute abdomen, this paper takes hospital gynecological acute abdomen patients as samples and selects gynecological acute abdomen patients admitted to the hospital to be included in this study. They are divided into transabdominal ultrasound group, intracavitary ultrasound group, and combined group. Moreover, this paper uses mathematical statistics to carry out sample statistics. The statistical data mainly include ectopic pregnancy, torsion of ovarian tumor pedicle, acute suppurative salpingitis, torsion of fallopian tube, hemorrhagic salpingitis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, rupture of corpus luteum cyst, and diagnosis accuracy rate. In addition, this paper compares the diagnostic accuracy of the abdominal ultrasound group, the intracavitary ultrasound group, and the combined group. The experimental research shows that the combined ultrasound diagnosis method can effectively improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of gynecological acute abdomen.

Ectopic pregnancy is an obstetric emergency which accounts for 4% of all pregnancy-related deaths. All women of child bearing age with abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding presenting to the Emergency Department should be evaluated for ectopic pregnancy. However, there have been many reported cases of diagnostic challenges of ectopic pregnancy. One rare variant of ectopic pregnancy that can be easily overlooked is chronic ectopic pregnancy. We present this case of a 39-yearold female, who presented with acute abdomen and free fluid in her abdomen. Urine pregnancy test indicated she was not pregnant. However, intraoperative findings confirmed left tubular pregnancy. We would like to highlight three major diagnostic challenges we faced in this case i.e.; (i) women of child bearing age with abdominal pain should always be evaluated for ectopic pregnancy; (ii) diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy should not be dismissed even though the pregnancy test is negative; and (iii) the role of computed tomography (CT) scan in acute abdomen of unclear aetiology. As a rule, all haemodynamically unstable acute abdomen should be sent to the operation theatre. Haemodynamically stable patients should be carefully evaluated to facilitate surgical management.

Wandering spleen is a rare clinical occurrence characterized by the absence of spleen in its normal anatomic place. Patients may present with acute abdomen, abdominal mass, and chronic abdominal pain. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are necessary. Here, we report a case of a woman who presented with acute abdominal pain secondary to a wandering spleen complicated by torsion of its vascular pedicle.
