Abstract

Primary appendagitis epiploica is a rare benign self-limiting Pinflammatory condition of the colonic epiploic appendices. Because of its rarity and nonspecific presentation, the clinical diagnosis is difficult. Computed tomography findings of primary appendagitis epiploica are specific. This is a non-surgical situation that clinically mimics other conditions requiring surgery, for this reason it is important to diagnose early and correctly. Herein, we present computed tomography findings of two cases who admitted to the emergency clinic with acute abdominal pain and were diagnosed to have primary appendagitis epiploica.

Özet

Primer apendajitis epiploika, kolonun epiploik apendikslerinin Pkendi kendini sınırlayıcı inflamatuar hastalığı olarak bilinmektedir. Nadir görülmesi ve nonspesifik belirtileri nedeni ile primer apendajitis epiploikanın klinik tanısı zordur ancak bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) bulguları spesifiktir. Cerrahi tedavi gerektiren akut abdominal hastalıkları taklit ettiği için tanısının doğru ve erken konulması önemlidir. Bu yazıda acil servise akut karın ağrısı şikâyeti ile gelen abdominopelvik bölgeye yönelik BT ile primer apendajitis epiploika tanısı konulan iki olgunun görüntüleme bulguları sunulmaktadır.
