Abstract:
Acute right-sided abdominal pain is a common presenting symptom in the emergency department. Acute cholecystitis and acute appendicitis are the most likely etiologies for right upper and lower quadrant pain, respectively. However, other differential possibilities include right-sided diverticulitis and perforated colon carcinoma. This case report of an 18-year-old man with segmental omental infarction highlights a much less frequent, self-limited cause of right-sided abdominal pain, which is increasingly identified on computed tomography scans.
