Primary epiploic appendagitis (PEA) is a rare cause of acute abdomen. Typical computed tomography (CT) findings can definitively diagnose PEA, but radiologists may overlook these signs due to limited literature.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Epiploic appendagitis is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management.

Observation:

  • Computed tomography (CT) scans reveal characteristic findings for primary epiploic appendagitis (PEA).
  • This condition is often overlooked in clinical practice.
  • Four new cases are presented to augment existing literature.

Findings:

  • Typical CT features of PEA allow for definitive diagnosis.
  • Radiologists may miss these findings due to the scarcity of published cases.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of PEA's CT findings can improve diagnostic accuracy.

  • Further case studies and literature reviews are needed to solidify diagnostic criteria.
  • Timely diagnosis of PEA can prevent unnecessary surgical interventions.
