Abstract
Acute abdominal pain is seen during the active phase in around 8-40% of SLE patients. Lupus mesenteric vasculitis (LMV) is one of the common causes of acute abdomen in SLE patients; however, it is an uncommon condition with a global prevalence of 0.2-9.7%.

Nevertheless, radiological investigations like ultrasonography and computed tomography play a role in narrowing down the differential diagnosis and excluding other non SLE causes of acute pain abdomen and aids in the management of the patient.
