Rare causes of abdominal pain

Other causes of acute abdominal pain include Henoch– Schönlein purpura, sickle cell disease, primary peritonitis, acute pancreatitis, biliary colic, testicular torsion, gynaecological pathology (e.g. ovarian cysts and tumours, pelvic inflammatory disease, haematometrocolpos) and urinary stone disease. UTIs in children may be due to a urinary tract abnormality and may lead to renal scarring from ascending infection. Infection and obstruction are particularly hazardous; see Chapter 20 Rare causes of abdominal pain
