CT Findings of Primary Torsion of the Greater Omentum with Segmental Infarction: Case Report

infarction is a rare condition. Infarction of the omentum causes localized acute abdominal pain and can therefore mimic other surgical emergencies. There is little information on this condition to be found in the radiological literature, because it is not usually diagnosed until surgical intervention, being previously diagnosed as acute appendicitis or acute cholecystitis (1, 2). There are only a few radiological reports of secondary torsion of the greater omentum caused by the hernial sac (1-3). In this report, we present the CT findings of a case of primary torsion of the greater omentum with segmental infarction, which should contribute to the correct preoperative diagnosis of future occurrences of this condition.
