Introduction:
Acute
abdomen is an urgent situation that can be caused by an incidence of
conditions like perforated peptic ulcer and acute pancreatitis
[1,2]. As a result of the importance of this condition, it needs
rapid intervention and treatment [1]. Perforation of the peptic
ulcer (PPU), which is an insultaition to the mucosa of the upper tract
of the digestive system, is the second most common complication of the
disease, with the incidence 4 to 14 cases per 100,000 individuals
[1,3,4]. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is also a common cause of
admissions to the emergency ward, rising in incidence through the last
years,that ranges from 13 to 45 per 100,000 population-years [5,6].
Although many underlying risk factors can lead to AP, cholelithiasis and
massive alcohol consumption are two main causes [7]. This case
presents an individual who was admitted to the hospital complaining of
acute abdominal pain, and after further investigations, he was diagnosed
with concurrent perforated peptic ulcer and acute pancreatitis.
