Radiological Case Series: Imaging Spectrum of Acute Abdominal Pathologies on Ct

Acute abdominal conditions represent a wide spectrum of surgical and medical emergencies where timely radiological evaluation is critical for patient outcomes. Computed Tomography (CT) has emerged as the cornerstone imaging modality due to its ability to rapidly detect pathology, delineate disease extent, and guide therapeutic decisions. This case series highlights distinct abdominal pathologies encountered in emergency settings: acute pancreatitis with extensive ascites, chronic pancreatitis complicated by gastric perforation, emphysematous pyelonephritis, ectopic kidney with pyelonephritis, chronic cystitis, mesenteric ischemia post LSCS, appendicular abscess, hepatic abscess and hepatic metastases. Each case is an unusual presentation and emphasizes the role of CT in diagnosis and management. The findings underscore CT's diagnostic accuracy and its pivotal role in differentiating pathologies that present with overlapping clinical symptoms.
