Infarction of an epiploic appendage. Review of the literature.
Disease of the epiploic appendage remains a diagnostic challenge. We have seen a patient whose main preoperative findings were limited to an abnormal small bowel loop with thickened folds on a small bowel series, an association not previously reported, to our knowledge. We review the pertinent medical and radiological literature.
