    Area of Science:

    • Abdominal Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Omentum torsion is a rare surgical emergency.
    • Delayed diagnosis can lead to complications.
    • Clinical presentation often mimics other acute abdominal conditions.

    Observation:

    • Ten patients (aged 16-62) with omentum torsion were analyzed.
    • Delayed hospitalization (1.5-3 days) was common, with abdominal pain as the primary symptom.
    • Peritoneal signs were often late, complicating diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • All patients underwent surgery for segmental omentum torsion (360-720 degrees).
    • Nine patients presented with abdominal hemorrhagic effusion.
    • Resection of the omentum was performed, with appendectomy in 5 cases; appendiceal pathology was infrequent.

    Implications:

    • Early surgical intervention is crucial for omentum torsion.
    • Accurate diagnosis requires high clinical suspicion, differentiating it from appendicitis or cholecystitis.
    • Omentum resection is a safe and effective treatment with favorable outcomes.
