Primary omental torsion in a 6-year-old girl.
The case of a 6-year-old girl who was admitted with abdominal pain and diagnosed to have primary omental torsion through laparatomy is presented. The presence of serosangineous fluid mimicking acute appendicitis but clinically not as bad as expected is suggested to raise the suspicion of primary omental torsion.
