2.1 History
A four-year-old Afghan refugee girl without medical or surgical history was admitted to the pediatric ward with the chief complaint of acute abdominal pain.
The symptoms started as intermittent abdominal pain (every 60 minutes with a duration of 20 minutes) in the periumbilical and hypogastric areas three days ago, accompanied by two times bilious vomiting (last night and one hour before admission) and one time of currant jelly stool defecation with no sign of hematochezia. Her complaints were temporarily relieved by taking anticholinergics and antiemetics as self-treatment.
