[Acute abdomen in diabetic patients --diagnostical questions].
The acute abdominal diseases in diabetic patients have some typical clinical features, which may be responsible for delated or even erroneous diagnosis. Severe anatomo-pathological forms of these diseases may advance, despite a rather discreet clinical evidence. The authors analyze a series of 132 diabetic patients with acute abdomen, operated between 1996 and 2001 in Surgical Clinic "I. Juvara", from Clinical Hospital "Dr. I. Cantacuzino"-Bucharest. The difficulties and also the inadvertences of diagnosis are detailed. Finally, a set of indices is presented, in order to help the differential diagnosis between acute abdomen and abdominal signs of the diabetic ketoacidosis.
