Abstract

Omental
infarction is a rare condition that mimics an acute abdomen due to the
deterioration in the perfusion of the greater omentum. The differential
diagnoses of acute cholecystitis, acute appendicitis, acute diverticulitis,
renal colic, and colon perforation should be considered. We present the case of
a 52-year-old woman who presented with right-sided anterior abdominal pain for
7 days. An abdominal computerized tomography examination showed a mass
appearance characterized by increased density and heterogeneity in the right
and right side of the omentum in the right anterior border of the liver. After
2 days of conservative treatment, the abdominal pain had significantly reduced.
In summary, omental infarction should be considered in the differential
diagnosis for acute right-sided abdominal pain.

Abstract

Omental enfarktüsü, omentum majusun perfüzyonunun bozulmasına bağlı
olarak akut karını taklit eden nadir bir patolojidir. Hastalığın ayırıcı
tanısında akut kolesistit, akut apandisit, akut divertikülit, renal kolik,
kolon perforasyonu düşünülmelidir. Yedi
gündür olan sağ üst kadran ağrısı
şikayeti ile başvuran 52 yaşında kadın hastayı sunuyoruz. Abdomen
bilgisayarlı tomografi incelemesinde, karaciğer sağ
anterior sınırında omentumun sağ ve sağ tarafında heterojenite ile karakterize
bir kitle görünümü ve yoğunluğunda bir artış gösteren hastanın konservatif
tedavi ile iki günün sonunda karın ağrısı önemli ölçüde azaldı. Özet olarak,
omental infarktüs, akut sağ taraflı abdominal ağrı için ayırıcı tanı olarak
düşünülmelidir.
