Abstract:
A 39-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with right lower abdominal pains. Physical examination revealed focal tenderness in the right lower quadrant abdomen. Abdominal CT scan demonstrated heterogeneous increased fat density in the right greater omentum. That said, we diagnosed the disease as idiopathic segmental infarc- tion of the greater omentum. He underwent conservative management with antibiotics and analgesics. With his abdominal pains dramatically resolved, the patient was discharged from our hospital ten days after hospitalization. The standard treatment for the idiopathic segmental infarction of the greater omentum has not been established. We report this case together with a review of some literature.
