“…Emergency abdominal CT scans are often interpreted preliminarily by trainee radiologists, especially during holidays and after usual working hours [ 6 ]. In emergency scenarios, timely and accurate interpretation of CT scans is indispensable for efficient patient care and avoidance of serious medical errors [ 7 ]. Keeping the importance of recognizing radiologic features of abdominal emergencies, a number of review articles and pictorial essays have been published regarding these entities [ 8 ].…”

Acute abdomen is a common presentation in the emergency department and radiologic imaging plays a pivotal role in the evaluation of such patients. Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) is the most commonly utilized radiologic investigation in such patients as it can be performed fairly rapidly and has excellent accuracy for diagnosing various causes of an acute abdomen. Additionally, MDCT may also reveal clues towards an alternative diagnosis that was not even suspected on the basis of a history and physical examination. Consequently, it is indispensable for radiologists to be able to accurately and efficiently recognize imaging features of disorders that may present as an acute abdomen. While gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and genitourinary causes account for most cases of acute abdomen, vascular etiologies may also be implicated in a small—but significant—proportion of cases. Therefore, in this pictorial review, we describe the typical MDCT imaging features of various vascular etiologies that may present as an acute abdomen.
