ABSTRACT
Acute abdominal pain occurs frequently in patients with sickle cell anaemia (SCA), and presents a difficult diagnostic and management problem as the clinical presentation may mimic an acute surgical condition. Good clinical judgement and careful observation are necessary to avoid increased morbidity and mortality. Chronic recurrent upper abdominal pain is also a common problem and in many the cause is unknown. These patients usually respond to simple symptomatic therapy. (Summary)
