Abstract
Abdominal pain is a common experience during childhood and frequently presents to secondary healthcare facilities. Although non-specific abdominal pain and appendicitis are the most common causes, the clinician should also be aware of the diagnosis and management of all causes of abdominal pain in children. This article provides an overview of abdominal pain in children, including history and examination, initial management, diagnostic categories, modes of investigation, and definitive treatment.
