Abstract

Giriş: Omental torsiyon akut karının nadir nedenlerinden biridir ve
sıklıkla akut apandisit’in semptom ve bulguları ile kendini gösterir.
Biz bu vakamızda karın ağrısının nadir bir nedeni olarak omental torsiyonun
klinik prezentasyonunu ve Bilgisayarlı Tomografi görüntüleme
bulgularını sunduk.
Olgu Sunumu: 45 yaşında erkek hasta sağ alt kadran ağrısı ile Acil
Servise başvurdu. Yapılan abdominal USG’de milimetrik safrakesesi
taşları ve sağ alt kadranda serbest sıvı dışında patolojik bir bulguya
rastlanmadı. Sonrasında çekilen abdominal Tomografide omental
“whirl sign “ (kendi etrafında dönme) bulgusu ve büyük omentumda
torsiyon ile uyumlu dansite artışı tespit edildi. Bunun üzerine omental
torsiyon tanısı konuldu ve ardından yapılan operasyonda da omental
torsiyon varlığı tespit edildi.
Sonuç: Omental torsiyon karın ağrısının nadir bir nedenidir ancak
açıklanamayan semptomlarla birlikte non-spesifik karın ağrısı olan hastalarda
özellikle hatırlanması gerekir.

Abstract

Background: Omental torsion is an uncommon cause of an acute abdomen. Most often it presents with sign and symptoms of acute appendicitis. We report this case to reveal the clinical presentation and computed tomography imagine findings of omental torsion as an uncommon cause of abdominal pain. case report: A 45-year-old male presented to the emergency department complaining of right lower abdominal pain. There was no pathological sign except millimetric stones in the gall bladder and free fluid in the right lower quadrant in abdominal ultrasonography. Then computed tomography was performed and it shoved omental whirl sign and increased density in great omentum consistent with omental torsion. Thus, a diagnosis of omental torsion was made immediately, which was confirmed by subsequent surgery. conclusion: Omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain, but especially it will be remembered for patients with unclear symptoms and nonspecific abdominal pain
