Lokalize Abdominal Ağrının Nadir Bir Nedeni Olarak Primer Epiploik Apendijit: Görüntüleme Bulguları

Abstract

Epiploik apendiksin hastalıkları nadir olup genellikle orta yaş grubunu etkilemektedir. Pirimer epiploik apendijit, yüzlerce epiploik apendiksten birinin torsiyonu, spontan venöz trombozu veya inflamasyonu sonucu oluşan inflamatuar ve iskemik bir durumdur. Bu yazıda, ultrasonografi ve bilgisayarlı tomografi ile tanısı konulan primer epiploik apendijitli bir hastayı, bu hastalığın önemli klinik ve radyolojik bulguları eşiliğinde sunuyoruz.

Primary Epiploic Appendagitis As a Rare Cause of Localized Abdominal Pain: Imaging Findings

Abstract

Disorders of the epiploic appendages are rare, usually affecting the middle age group. Primary epiploic appendagitis is an inflammatory and ischemic condition that results from torsion, spontaneous venous thrombosis, or inflammation of one of the hundreds of appendices epiploicae. In this article, we present a patient with primary epiploic appendagitis diagnosed by ultrasonography and computed tomography scan, and discuss the important clinical and radiological manifestations of this disease
