Abstract
Purpose: Abdominal pain is a common symptom in emergency room (ER), covering 10% of the assists. The delay in diagnosis and treatment adversely affects the patient's prognosis. Transabdominal ultrasonography is most commonly used to obtain images of hepatobiliary, urogenital, and pelvic structures. However, improvements in ultrasound technology and increasing familiarity with ultrasonographic findings in a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, as Crohn's disease (CD), are broadening its applications, and it is an aspect to be considered by emergency physicians (EP) in patients with recurrent abdominal pain. We present a case of CD, diagnosed at ER, through the use of ultrasound scanning by EP.
