Abstract

AbstractMorning Report is a time-honored tradition where physicians-in-training present cases to their colleagues and clinical experts to collaboratively examine an interesting patient presentation. The Morning Report section seeks to carry on this tradition by presenting a patient's chief concern and story, inviting the reader to develop a differential diagnosis and discover the diagnosis alongside the authors of the case. This report examines the story of an 18-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain. Using questions, physical examination, and testing, an illness script for the presentation emerges; as the clinical course evolves, the differential is refined until a final diagnosis is made.
