Based on the author's long professional experience and interest in the subject, this text provides practical advice on the commonly-encountered problems of abdominal pain in children. The book falls naturally into two parts: acute abdominal pain, where the main question is "Is this appendicitis?", and recurrent abdominal pain, where the main question is "Is this emotional in origin?". The book is intended for all who deal with children, and in particular general practitioners, paediatricians and surgeons.
