A 2-year-old boy is brought by his parent to the emergency department for evaluation of severe, crampy abdominal pain. The parent states that the patient woke up in the morning with severe abdominal pain and had a single episode of vomiting. He quickly became inconsolable, drawing his knees up towards his abdomen. Within 30 minutes, his pain resolved. However, later in the day, his symptoms recurred, and he passed stool with blood and mucus. He attends daycare and recently had an upper respiratory infection. He has no significant past medical history and is up to date on vaccinations. He appears to be in severe pain and is crying. Temperature is 36°C (96.8°F), heart rate is 110/min, blood pressure is 98/55 mmHg, and respiratory rate is 22/min.
