The article presents results of instrumental examinations of 152 patients in detection of causes of the appearance of false acute abdomen. Gastroduodenoscopy (90 observations) has established that its appearance is associated with acute gastroduodenitis (in 42% of the patients), acute gastritis (28%), erosive gastritis (27.4%), acute gastric ulcer (2.7%). The ultrasonic investigation (26 patients) of patients with pseudoabdominal syndrome is most effective in acute diseases of the kidneys, liver, pancreas. The article also presents data on the role of laparocentesis (25 cases) and laparoscopy (15) in the detection of causes of pseudosurgical pains in the abdomen.
