Abstract

Omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdomen and is often confused with appendicitis because of physical examination findings that suggest appendicitis. Here we present a case of an 11-year-old girl with omental torsion who was medically treated. This study aimed to create awareness for omental infarction and help avoid unnecessary surgical procedures for medically treatable pathologies

Özet

Omentum torsiyonu akut karının nadir bir nedenidir. Apandisiti taklit eden fizik muayene bulgularından ötürü sıklıkla akut apandisitle karıştırılmaktadır. Bu yüzden omental torsiyonu olan ve medikal olarak tedavi edilen 11 yaşında bir kız olgu sunulmuştur. Bu makale oldukça nadir görülen omentum torsiyonunun farkındalığını artırmak ve medikal olarak tedavi edilebilen bu patoloji için yapılan gereksiz cerrahiyi önlemek amacıyla yazılmıştır
