Two patients presenting with acute onset of left lower abdominal pain due to infarcted epiploic appendages are the subject of this report. Computed tomography (CT) in both cases showed localized pericolic inflammatory changes corresponding to the location of infarcted epiploic appendages on the serosal aspect of the descending colon or sigmoid. The clinical and radiological findings of this entity are briefly described.
