Abstract

Primary appendagitis epiploica is a rare benign self-limiting inflammatory condition of the colonic epiploic appendices. It causes acute localized abdominal pain thought to be the result of torsion or spontaneous vascular thrombosis of epiploic appendices. This is a non-surgical situation that clinically mimics other conditions requiring surgery such as acute diverticulitis or appendicitis. In this report, CT findings of this rare disease are presented at the stage of initial diagnosis and follow-up.

Özet

Primer apendajitis epiploika (PAE), kolonun epiploik apendikslerinin benign ve kendi kendini sınırlayıcı nadir bir inflamatuar hastalığı olarak bilinmektedir. Cerrahi gerektiren bir hastalık olmaması na rağmen cerrahi tedavi gerektiren akut abdominal hastalıkları taklit ettiği için tanısının doğru ve erken konulması klinik olarak önem taşımaktadır (1-5). Çalışmamızda kliniğe akut karın ağrısı şikayeti ile gelen ve abdominopelvik bölgeye yönelik bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ile tanısı konulup takibi yapılan PAE olgusunun görüntüleme bulguları tartışılmıştır.
