    AbstractAcute abdominal pain in children occurs often and requires rapid clarification. Hints as to the condition are often given by the first impression and the case history of the patient. When the clinical examination and laboratory results do not lead to a clear finding, imaging methods such as a sonography can clarify the case. The most common cause for abdominal pain in infants is acute enteritis, mostly brought about by rotaviruses. Additional diagnoses are abdominal hernia, malrotation, hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, invagination or gastroesophageal reflux. In school-age children, the classic finding is "appendicitis". This should be differentiated from constipation, gastritis, pancreatitis, sigmoid volvulus, bowel and intestinal obstruction or, perhaps, gallstone trouble.
