%X Acute abdominal pain is a medical emergency that is characterized by
abrupt, acute, recently developed abdominal pain that is accompanied by other
signs that are confined in the abdomen area. The purpose of this study was to
illustrate how ultrasonography may be used to identify sudden abdominal pain.
From December 2021 and March 2022, a comprehensive examination of 50 patients with
acute abdominal pain was conducted. Seven hospitals in Khartoum State, Sudan,
examined individuals with clinically suspected abdominal <span>and pelvic deformities using 3.5 MHz ultrasound
machines. Out of the 50 (100%)</span> patients who were presented with acute
abdominal pain 10 (20%) were appendicitis, 9 (18%) were cholecystitis, 8</span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">(16%)
