Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Omental torsion is an unusual and infrequently encountered cause of acute abdominal pain in adults. Computed tomography (CT) is a useful adjunct to clinical history and examination in establishing the diagnosis; however, definitive diagnosis is frequently established at the time of exploratory surgery. Treatment may be conservative or operative, with laparoscopic resection the surgical approach of choice. We report the case of a 60-year-old man who presented with a 3-day history of severe right-sided abdominal pain. Abdominal CT scan revealed a right upper quadrant mass with a whirl-like appearance, suspicious for omental infarction. Diagnostic laparoscopy was undertaken, the diagnosis confirmed and the diseased omentum resected. The patient was discharged the following day and made an uncomplicated recovery. |
