    Case study:
    Raza, 3-year-old boy presents to hospital with a 5-day history of
    abdominal pain and a 2-day history of diarrhea and vomiting. He
    describes the quality of the abdominal pain as sharp, originating
    in the epigastric region and radiating to his back, and exacerbated
    by movement. Additionally, he has had several episodes of
    nonbloody, nonbilious vomiting and watery diarrhea

    During the physical examination, the adolescent is afebrile and


    assessed to be well hydrated. Examination of the abdomen
    reveals tenderness in the epigastric region and the right lower
    quadrant on light to deep palpation, with radiation to his back on
    palpation. There are no visible marks or lesions on his abdomen.
    Physical examination is negative for rebound tenderness, rovsing
    sign, or psoas sign. The remainder of the examination findings
    are negative.
