idiopathic or spontaneous segmental infarction of omentum is a rare disease producing acute abdominal emergency. this rare entity is in a small group of abdominal emergencies with circulatory compromise. infarction could be caused by omental torsion which could be due to adhesion of a previouse surgery or it could be spontaneous. less than 150 cases of idiopathic segmental infarction of omentum...

Torsion and infarction of the greater omentum are two rare clinical situations which present as an acute abdomen. Nevertheless, knowledge concerning these two problems can help the surgeon in proper diagnosis and treatment. Since the first report on primary torsion by Eitel in 1899, a few hundred more have been reported and some collective reviews published to date. In this study we will p...

Segmental testicular infarction is a rare cause of acute scrotum. Its aetiology is not well defined and it can be clinically confused with a testicular tumour. Because the differential diagnosis between segmental testicular infarction and testicular tumour can be difficult, most authors in the past recommended surgery. Imaging plays an important role in the preoperative diagnosis, with a colour...

Segmental renal infarction is a rare situation which has been reported so far in the form of case reports. It's caused usually by cardiac conditions, such as atrial fibrillation, and systemic diseases (e.g. systemic lupus erythematous). We are presenting a case of a 31 year old healthy male, who sustained a left segmental renal infarction, following a motorbike accident. We report his presentat...

Left ventricular asynergy associated with acute myocardial infarction was evaluated by crosssectional echocardiography. Patients with acute infarction were studied within 48 hours of admission, and a segmental analysis of left ventricular wall motion was performed using nine segments obtained by shortand long-axis recordings of the left ventricle. By this segmental approach, analysis of wall mo...
