Omental torsion
Jain, Paresh; Chhabra, Sheri; Parikh, Ketan & Vaidya, Amrish
Abstract
Omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain, and clinically mimics acute appendicitis. A 11-year-old boy presented with symptoms and signs suggestive of appendicitis. A computed tomography of abdomen revealed findings suggestive of omental torsion. Diagnostic laparoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of torsion of a segment of the greater omentum.
Keywords
