Abstract
Ultrasound is often the imaging modality of choice in patients with acute right iliac fossa pain. Right iliac fossa pain remains the commonest clinical dilemma encountered by general surgeons. The management of acute right iliac fossa pain is audited, examining the relationship between symptom duration, use of pre-operative radiological imaging and patient outcome. Objective: To determine the diagnostic role of ultrasonography in Right Iliac Fossa pathologies. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out at the Department of Radiology in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Duration of study was from March 2018 to November 2018. 85 patients with Right Iliac Fossa pain selected through convenient sampling technique. Statistical software for social sciences (SPSS version 22.0) is used for the analysis of data. Conclusion: The results in the study reflect findings from high volume emergency surgical departments and patients of pain in right iliac fossa demonstrating that unfocussed abdominal and pelvic ultrasounds are not an appropriate use of resources in patients with Right iliac fossa pain.

Summary
By physician’s diagnosis and anatomists, Human abdomen is divided into four regions. In the four-region scheme, four quadrants allow localization of pain and tenderness, scars, lumps, and other items of interest. The painful right lower quadrant is a challenge for interdisciplinary sonography. Sonography is used to establish the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. For the assessment of the painful right lower quadrant, sonography is proved to be
