Abstract Ascites, defined as the abnormal accumulation of fluid within the peritoneal cavity, is a frequent clinical condition associated with diverse etiologies. This study aimed to evaluate the causes and imaging characteristics of ascites using ultrasonography and computed tomography. Fifty patients with clinically suspected ascites were examined using both modalities and cytopathology study. Cirrhosis was the most common cause, followed by malignancy and tuberculosis. Ultrasonography effectively detected free fluid and internal echoes, while CT provided superior characterization of loculated and malignant ascites. Radiological correlation assists in identifying the underlying cause, guiding appropriate clinical management
