[Ureteropelvic junction obstruction presenting with abdominal pain: a analysis of fourteen cases].
During the past three and half years (Jan, 1984-Jun. 1987), 14 cases of ureteropelvic junction obstruction presented with abdominal pain were encountered in the Department of Pediatrics, Mackay Memorial Hospital. Eight cases were male and six female. Their ages ranged from 4 years old to 12 years old. ⋯ In 9 of the 14 cases, surgical intervention was performed to correct abnormalities. Six cases were followed up regularly; all showed improvement, however, one developed ureteropelvic junction obstruction on the contralateral kidney one year later. The remaining five cases who did not receive surgical treatment continued to have recurrent abdominal pain.

Case Reports[Abdominal pain in diabetic ketoacidosis: report of four cases].
Four cases of diabetic ketoacidosis presenting with abdominal pain are reported. Case 1: a 14-year-old boy suffered from sudden onset of mid-abdominal pain, then migrating to the right lower quadrant. Nausea and vomiting occurred subsequently. ⋯ Diabetic ketoacidosis was diagnosed after serial examinations. The abdominal pain in diabetic ketoacidosis may lead the pediatrician into diagnostic error. Therefore, when a child presented with non-specific abdominal pain, a routine urine sugar should be checked in order not to miss the possibility of diabetic ketoacidosis.
