[Primary appendagitis epiploica: diagnosis and follow-up with CT (case report)].
Primary appendagitis epiploica is a rare benign self-limiting inflammatory condition of the colonic epiploic appendices. It causes acute localized abdominal pain thought to be the result of torsion or spontaneous vascular thrombosis of epiploic appendices. This is a non-surgical situation that clinically mimics other conditions requiring surgery such as acute diverticulitis or appendicitis. In this report, CT findings of this rare disease are presented at the stage of initial diagnosis and follow-up.
