| Ectopic pregnancy | History of missed menses, positive pregnancy test, ultrasound reveals an empty uterus and may show a mass in the fallopian tubes.[1] |
| Appendicitis | Pain localized to the right iliac fossa, vomiting, abdominal ultrasound sensitivity for diagnosis of acute appendicitis is 75% to 90%.[2] |
| Rupturedovarian cyst | usually spontaneous, can follow history of trauma; mild chronic lower abdominal discomfort may suddenly intensify, ultrasound is diagnostic.[3] |
| Ovarian cyst torsion | Present with acute severe unilateral lower quadrant abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, tender adnexal mass palpated in 90%, ultrasound is diagnostic.[4] |
| Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst | Presents with localized abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Hypovolemic shock may be present; abdominal tenderness and guarding are physical exam findings, ultrasound is diagnostic.[4] |
| Endometriosis | Present with cyclic pain that is exacerbated by onset of menses and during the luteal phase; dyspareuni, transvaginal ultrasound is suggestive, laparascopic exploration is diagnostic.[4] |
| Diverticulitis | Present with bowel symptoms in older women |
