Abstract

Peri-gastric appendagitis followed associated with gastro-hepatic ligament/lesser omentum hemorrhagic infarction has not been well investigated yet. With an accurate radiological diagnosis of peri-gastric appendagitis, even in case of hemorrhagic infarction, the patient can receive supportive measures for the self-limited pain and can forgo surgery, endoscopy, and further invasive testing.

Keywords: computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; omental infarction; peri-gastric appendagitis; ultrasound.
