Abstract

Primary appendagitis epiploicaone of the causes of acute abdominal painis a self-limited rare benign inflammatory condition involving the colonic epiploic appendages. Their therapy is conservative and clinically mimics other conditions requiring surgery such as acute appendicitis or omental torsion. However, being a quite rare condition is the reason they are usually neglected by both the surgeon and the radiologist. However the computed tomography (CT) findings are rather characteristic and pathognomonic. Thus, to consider CT as the diagnostic modality of choice is extremely important in order to diagnose the condition and to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions. This is a paper reporting an acute abdominal pain case of primary appendicitis epiploica diagnosed using computed tomography.

Özet

Akut karın ağrısına neden olan primer apendisitis epiploika, kolonun epiploik apendikslerinin kendi kendini sınırlayan benign inflamatuar hastalığıdır. Tedavisi konservatiftir ve klinik olarak akut apandisit ya da omental torsiyon gibi cerrahi tedavi gerektiren durumlara benzer. Ancak nadir olması nedeni ile genellikle akut abdominal ağrılı olgularda hem cerrah hem de radyolog tarafından göz ardı edilir. Ancak bu hastalığın bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) bulguları karakteristik olup tanı koydurucudur. Bu nedenle gereksiz cerrahi girişimlerin önlenmesi açısından bu hastalığın farkında olunması ve teşhis için BT tetkikinin seçilmesi son derece önemlidir. Biz burada bilgisayarlı tomografi ile tanısı konan akut abdominal ağrıya neden olan primer apendisitis epiploika olgusunu sunduk.
