    Coeliac artery thrombosis with ischaemia is a rare condition, which usually presents with severe peptic ulcer disease symptoms. It is usually associated with risk factors for thrombosis or embolism. The manifestation is rare because of large number of collaterals between the coeliac and superior mesentery artery. Early detection and intervention is required to prevent the progression of its complications that includes gastric ischaemic necrosis.

    From 10th September 1998 till 5th June 1999, the Paediatric and Cardiothoracic Surgery Units of Sultanah Aminah Hospital Johor Bahru managed three children with lung collapse secondary to pneumonia. The dominant initial clinical presentation in all three cases was acute abdominal pain. Basal pneumonia was diagnosed in two cases post-operatively after surgical contributory causes were excluded intra-operatively. Thoracotomy, evacuation of infected debris and decortication of the collapsed lung was done in all three cases. In children presenting with acute abdominal pain, basal pneumonia should be considered as a possible contributory cause.

    An internal hernia through the mesosalpinx is a rare condition which is often overlooked. We report the case of a 65-year-old lady who presented with features of small bowel obstruction. At laparotomy, a gangrenous ileum was found to have herniated through a defect in the right mesosalpinx. We discuss this rare cause of a small bowel obstruction and its diagnostic dilemma.

    A middle-aged man presented with acute abdomen was found to have torsion of the spleen on laparotomy with the spleen lying in an abnormal position. Wandering spleen is an unusual entity, with torsion being a common complication.

    A hypothesis suggested in this paper is that pigbel, or enteritis necroticans was a common disease in mediaeval Europe when human habitats, food hygiene, protein deficiency and periodic meat feasting formed the basics of village life as they do in many Third World cultures today. Based on the Papua New Guinea experience with pigbel, it is suggested that health authorities should look closely at the epidemiology of the acute surgical abdomen in such communities. Enteritis necroticans may be the important predisposing lesion to mid-gut volvulus, jejunal and ileal ileus and other forms of small bowel strangulation in communities where protein deprivation, poor food hygiene, epochal meat feasting and staple diets containing trypsin inhibitors co-exist. Such human habitats occur in Central South America, Western Pacific, Asian and South-East Asian cultures. Isolated outbreaks of necrotising enteritis have been reported from Uganda, Malaysia and Indonesia but as yet no systematic epidemiological studies of the prevalence of small bowel strangulations have been described in the surgical literature of Third World countries. Now that enteritis necroticans is preventable by vaccination such studies should be undertaken.

    An acute abdomen in pregnancy can be caused by pregnancy itself, be predisposed to by pregnancy or be the result of a purely incidental cause. These various conditions are discussed. The obstetrician often has a difficult task in diagnosing and managing the acute abdomen in pregnancy. The clinical evaluation is generally confounded by the various anatomical and physiological changes occurring in pregnancy itself. Clinical examination is further hampered by the gravid uterus. The general reluctance to use conventional X-rays because of the pregnancy should be set aside when faced with the seriously ill mother. A reluctance to operate during pregnancy adds unnecessary delay, which increases morbidity for both mother and fetus. Such mistakes should be avoided as prompt diagnosis and appropriate therapy are crucial. A general approach to acute abdominal conditions in pregnancy is to manage these problems regardless of the pregnancy.
