Abstract
Gastrointestinal emergencies are a frequent reason for presentation in the emergency department and involve patients of all ages. The patients must undergo an immediate cross-sectional imaging as in many cases the underlying pathology is a life-threatening condition, which often needs surgical or in some cases also interventional radiological treatment. In this overview, the most important differential diagnoses and their characteristics on cross-sectional imaging are presented.
