Abstract

Omental infarction, the end result of impaired perfusion of the greater omentum, is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain. Because its clinical symptoms are nonspecific, it is usually confused with more common conditions such as appendicitis or cholecystitis. Consequently, the diagnosis is generally made intraoperatively. However, computed tomography shows characteristic findings and allows a reliable preoperative diagnosis, preventing unnecessary laparatomy. We report two cases of omental infarction, and describe typical CT findings of this rare entitiy.

Özet

Omental infarkt, omentum majusun perfüzyonunun bozulması sonucu gelişen, klinik bulgularıyla hemen her akut karın nedenini taklit edebilen, nadir görülen bir patolojidir. Lokalizasyonuna göre; akut apandisit, akut kolesistit, renal kolik veya divertikülit ile karışabilir (1). Bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ile tanısını kolayca koyabilmek mümkün olmakla birlikte, omental infarktlı hastalar sıklıkla değişik ön tanılarla opere edilmekte, operasyon sırasında tanı almaktadırlar. Radyologların bu patolojinin BT bulgularına aşina olmalarıyla, hastalara omental infarkt tanısı preoperatif olarak konabilir ve gereksiz cerrahi girişimler engellenebilir (2). Bu yazıda, BT ile omental infarkt tanısı almış iki olgunun BT bulguları sunulmuş, konuyla ilgili kaynaklar gözden geçirilmiştir.
