SamenvattingBuikpijn kan vele oorzaken hebben en wordt vaak toegeschreven aan disfunctionerende organen (viscerale pijn). Buikklachten kunnen ook worden veroorzaakt door afwijkingen in de buikwand zelf. Een voorbeeld hiervan is het anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES). ACNES wordt echter in de hedendaagse kliniek vaak niet (h)erkend als oorzaak van (chronische) buikpijn. Urologen zien geregeld patiënten met buik-en flankpijnen zonder een duidelijk urologisch substraat. Aan de hand van deze casuïstiek willen wij de diagnose ACNES bij urologen onder de aandacht brengen om zodoende onnodig delay en frustrerend negatief onderzoek bij deze patiëntengroep te voorkomen.Trefwoorden anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) · chronische buikpijn · flankpijn · neurectomie Case report. ACNES as cause of abdominal pain in a urology clinic Abstract Abdominal pain can have many causes and is often attributed to dysfunctional organs (visceral pain). Abdominal complaints can also be caused by abnormalities in the abdominal wall itself. Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is a common but relatively unknown source of abdominal wall pain. Urology specialists regularly see patients with abdominal and flank pain without any urological substrate. We present a case report of two patients seen at the urology outpatient clinic, who were eventually diagnosed with ACNES. Our cases illustrate the importance of considering ACNES in the differential diagnosis. Early diagnosis can avoid unnecessary investigations, treatment and considerable cost.Keywords anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) · chronic abdominal pain · flank pain · neurectomy
