Omental infarction and anterior wall adhesion presenting as surgical
abdomen in a paediatric patient.
Abstract
Omental infarction is a rare cause of acute abdomen that can present in
both the pediatric and adult populations causing adhesions or abscesses.
Presentation may mimic appendicitis; however, ultrasonography may not be
sufficient. We discuss the importance of CT imaging for the pre-surgical
diagnosis to avoid serious port-site injuries.
