Ischemic Strangulation of a Giant Epiploic Appendage through an Omental Defect: a Case Report

J Belg Soc Radiol. 2016 Oct 24;100(1):84. doi: 10.5334/jbr-btr.1112.

Abstract

We report a rare case of an epiploic appendage twisted through an omental defect, resulting in an epiploic appendagitis at a distance to the colonic wall. The 59-year-old women complained of low abdominal pain and alguria, progressively increasing following a total colonoscopy 4 days earlier.

Keywords: Abdomen; Epiploic appendagitis; Transomental herniation.
