Abstract
Abdominal pain is common, with most children never seeing a doctor, and, of those that do, most being seen and treated at home by a general practitioner. Of those that are taken to hospital, some recover without obvious sequelae despite the lack of a specific diagnosis. The label non-specific abdominal pain has been used for these cases, and this, in truth, will be the commonest “cause” of most acute abdominal pain that most clinicians will see.
