title: Ultrasonographical diagnosis of acute gynaecological pain.
abstract: Acute pelvic pain is a common presentation in women. There are a myriad of causes, both gynaecological and non-gynaecological in origin. Ultrasonography is well-established as the primary initial investigation of choice. Familiarity with the imaging features of the commonly-associated conditions aids in the rapid diagnosis, and immediate management of the patient. This article provides a pictorial review of the common gynaecological causes of pelvic pain.
