Abstract
Acute abdomen is a life-threatening condition caused by various conditions such as perforated peptic ulcer and acute appendicitis. This critical illness usually requires urgent investigations and treatment. The main diagnostic methods for acute pancreatitis are clinical and paraclinical examination, and for perforated peptic ulcer clinical and imaging diagnosis (abdominal X-ray and endoscopy). These two critical conditions can be encountered simultaneously, making it difficult to diagnose and treat acute abdomen as soon as possible. Therefore, it is essential to consider these two conditions both individually and simultaneously in a patient with acute abdomen symptoms. This article presents an elderly man with diagnostically confirmed symptoms of association between perforated peptic ulcer and acute pancreatitis.
