Acute abdomen is a clinical emergency with core symptomatology of acute abdominal pain and hallmark requisite of speedy intervention. There are myriads of aetio-genesis that are basically multi-disciplinary. Radiological imaging complements clinical examinations to arrive at meaningful diagnosis. Sometimes imaging becomes the major diagnostic alternative to the encumbrances of palpating a tender, rigid abdomen. Regrettably, despite the exploits of imaging, decision making process in some cases of acute abdomen could still be a major challenge, as no specific diagnosis may be made in these peculiar cases. Some common cases seen in our various practice are depicted pictorially in this text to drive home some essential points of acute abdomen.
