Evaluation of the Adolescent Female With Acute Lower Abdominal Pain

Neonatal “Near Misses” Encountered in the Emergency Department
Pediatric surgical diseases may present in a delayed fashion to the emergency department. In addition, these cases may have abnormal presentations when compared with presentations in the setting of the neonatal intensive care unit. A high degree of suspicion on the part of our emergency physicians will allow for prompt and definitive consultation and treatment of our youngest patients. Here we present 3 such cases that were encountered in our emergency department that show the importance of a high index of suspicion. (Source: Clinical Pediatric Emergency Medicine)

Clinical Evaluation of Acute Appendicitis
One of the most common causes of surgical abdominal pain among children is appendicitis. History of present illness and physical examination are important in distinguishing appendicitis from other etiologies of abdominal pain, and surgical decisions can be made sometimes on these findings alone. The addition of laboratory results and various imaging modalities can help in equivocal cases. Ultrasound and computed tomography, and more recently magnetic resonance imaging, are beneficial in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. (Source: Clinical Pediatric Emergency Medicine)
