Abstract:

Abdominal pain and surgical problems in pregnancy pose particular diagnostic and management challenges. Here is a group of three case reports highlighting this fact. First was a case of uterine rupture, treated as gastroenteritis, second, a case of subphrenic abscess, treated as a renal colic thus delaying drainage and third case was HELPP syndrome where initially abdominal pain was ignored as a significant symptom.
