Abdominal pain in the elderly can be a challenging and difficult condition to diagnose and treat. The geriatric population has significant comorbidities and often takes polypharmacy that can mask symptoms.

It is also important to consider extra-abdominal abnormality that may manifest as abdominal pain.
