Other Comments:
A very well written manuscript listing a lot of differential diagnoses for "the acute abdomen". This paper could be a very good pocket guide for young surgeons to detect also rare causes in patients with acute abdomen.
The short points for each diagnoses make the paper interesting and offer the possibility for a short look at the bedside.
An interesting articel not only for young surgeons....
I strongly encourage the authors to submit a second paper analyzing "common causes" of the acute abdomen.
