The Diagnosis and Management of the Acute Abdomen in Pregnancy

  • 922 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter discusses diagnosis and management of gynecologic causes of abdominal pain in pregnancy. Causes can range from benign to malignant to ones requiring immediate surgical attention. Most masses diagnosed in pregnancy are found incidentally on routine obstetrical ultrasound and remain asymptomatic throughout gestation. However, when they become symptomatic, high clinical suspicion may be life-saving.
