Abdominal pain with distension Differntials are Perfirated peptic ulcer or viscera Hepatic venous outflow obstruction Acute intestinal obstruction Corrhosis with portal vein obstruction
D/d 1 since pt is chr smoker and presented with abdominal pain and distension first i will think of acute gastritis or peptic ulcer 2 pt is alcoholic but no symptoms of liver disease so i will search for acute pancreatitis 3 r/o acute cholecystitis with gall stones
Abdominal pain with distension Differntials are Perfirated peptic ulcer or viscera Hepatic venous outflow obstruction Acute intestinal obstruction Corrhosis with portal vein obstruction
Since there is no vomiting, and since there is pain and distension, and obstipation ,it is likely to be Large gut obstruction Since it is acute, volvulus of sigmoid is likely Abdominal Ultrasound, PR exam, MRI ABDOMEN are indicated
Intestinal obstruction if no peristalsis epigastric pain ulcer usg abdomen plain xray abdomen
Intestinal obstruction. Needs further investigations and evaluation to conclude diagnosis and line of treatment.
