Segmental omental infarction is a rare cause of acute right-sided abdominal pain. This condition is increasingly diagnosed using computed tomography scans and is a self-limited diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • General Surgery

Background:

  • Acute right-sided abdominal pain is a frequent emergency department presentation.
  • Common diagnoses include acute cholecystitis and acute appendicitis.
  • Less common differentials include diverticulitis and perforated colon carcinoma.

Observation:

  • This case report details an 18-year-old male presenting with acute right-sided abdominal pain.
  • The patient was diagnosed with segmental omental infarction.

Findings:

  • Segmental omental infarction is a rare, self-limited etiology of acute right-sided abdominal pain.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scans are increasingly identifying this condition.

Implications:
