　　Acute abdomen is caused by a variety of conditions, not only gastrointestinal tract but also urogenital diseases. The presenting features of urogenital diseases in infants may be non-specific ; with fever, feeding disorders, vomiting and diarrhea. Ultrasound remains the primary imaging tool for urogenital pathologies. If necessary, additional diagnostic imaging modalities are needed for the diagnosis and follow-up of urogenital pathologies, such as VCUG, CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine. In this presentation, the author reviews the radiological findings in emergency urogenital pathologies.
