title: [Epiploic appendagitis: a radiologic diagnosis].
abstract: The incidence of primary epiploic appendagitis is underestimated. The clinical and biological presentation of epiploic appendagitis is non-specific and may mimic acute appendicitis or diverticulitis. Imaging with ultrasound or computed tomography may suggest the diagnosis and prevent unnecessary surgery; medical management of symptoms is usually sufficient.
