Abstract

Epiploic appendagitis, which is an uncommon cause of acute abdomen, is a benign self-limiting inflammatory process of epiploic appendices. It has primary and secondary types. Computed tomography findings of the primary type are specific but are demonstrated rarely. Herein, we present pre- and post-treatment computed tomography findings of two cases who admitted to the emergency clinic with acute abdominal pain and were diagnosed to have epiploic appendagitis. Follow-up computed tomography features correlated well with clinical improvement.

Özet

Nadir akut karın nedenlerinden olan epiploik apandisit, epiploik apendikslerin kendi kendini sınırlayan inşamasyonudur. Primer tipi nadirdir fakat bilgisayarlı tomografi bulguları spesifiktir. Bu yazıda, acil servise akut abdominal ağrı ile gelen ve epiploik apandisit tanısı konulan iki olgunun tomografi bulguları sunulmaktadır. ‹ki olguda da tedavi öncesi çekilen bilgisayarlı tomografide solda inen kolon komşuluğunda, intravenöz kontrast madde enjeksiyonu sonrasında periferal kontrastlanma gösteren yağ dansitesinde nodüler lezyon mevcuttu. Lezyon çevresinde mezenterik yağ dokuda inşamasyona sekonder dansite artışları izlendi. Olgulara, tomografi bulgularına göre epiploik apandisit tanısı kondu. Tedaviden 1.5-3 ay sonra çekilen kontrol bilgisayarlı tomografide bulguların kaybolduğu ve klinik iyileşme ile korele olduğu izlendi.
