title: [Acute occlusion with fever in a Tunisian woman].
abstract: The purpose of this report is to describe a case of idiopathic segmental infarction of the great omentum, in a Tunisian woman, who presented with acute right hypchondrial pain simulating cholecystitis. Abdominal CT scan is the modality of choice. If symptoms resist medical treatment or complications occur, laparoscopic excision is the best therapeutic technique.
