Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Abdominal Imaging
Surgical Pathology

Background:

Epiploic appendagitis is an uncommon, benign cause of acute abdominal pain.
It results from torsion or venous occlusion of an epiploic appendage.

Observation:

An elderly female presented with acute abdomen.
Clinical presentation mimicked more common surgical emergencies.

Findings:

Computed Tomography (CT) scan confirmed epiploic appendagitis.
The diagnosis was established based on characteristic CT findings.

Implications:

Conservative management is often effective for epiploic appendagitis.
CT imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis and avoiding unnecessary surgery.
