[Acute abdomen of unusual cause in children].
The acute abdomen in childhood is in most cases caused by an acute appendicitis and rarely it is secondary to other diseases. It is for that reason, that we present two cases extremely rare of acute abdomen: the first one was an abdominal Actinomycosis secondary to acute appendicitis that looked like a tumor and the second that was an acute omentitis due to pinworms.
