title: [Echotomography in abdominal emergencies. Apropos of 16 controlled clinical cases. (A description of some of them)].
abstract: A personal series of abdominal emergencies subjected to ultrasound studies is reported. The results of these studies were identical to the surgical and histological findings. It is therefore concluded that even in the absence of other diagnostic techniques (scintiscans, angiographic, CAT scans, etc.) ultrasound imaging can make a major contribution to the diagnosis of intra and extraperitoneal abdominal emergencies especially in district hospitals.
