Journal Title: Çocuk Acil ve Çocuk Yoğun Bakım Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Abdominal pain is one of the most common causes of admission to pediatric emergency department. Point-of care ultrasonography combined with appropriate history and physical examination provides rapid and accurate management of abdominal pain in emergency setting. Here, we report a 15-year-old girl with abdominal pain who was diagnosed with Nutcracker syndrome by the guidance of point-of-care ultrasound findings.
