Introduction: The patient with an acute abdomen is one of the biggest diagnostic challenges in emergency services, both in terms of the degree of suspicion and the urgency of their treatment, with an estimate of 7-10% of annual visits to emergency departments. Among the most diverse causes, didactically we can divide according to 4 major areas, inflammatory, obstructive, ischemic, infectious, or a mix of them, making research difficult. Case report: This case report aims to shed light on the differential diagnoses for acute inflammatory/obstructive abdomen, acute diverticulitis, frequent morbidity in patients over 50 years of age, and which may hide an underlying colorectal neoplasia. In the case analysis, risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis, classification and treatment are discussed, which are increasingly well defined and which, in case of suspicion, help in early management and favorable outcome.
