Primary Omental Infarction Presenting As a Parietal Wall Swelling: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Primary omental infarction, acute or subacute, may present as acute abdomen or as sub-acute abdominal pain which frequently mimics other surgical emergencies. Primary omental infarction is idiopathic [1] in contrast to secondary which is associated with other intra abdominal pathologies. We present here a case of primary omental infarction with abscess formation infiltrating into the anterior abdominal wall muscle layers, presenting as abdominal pain with parietal wall swelling (in contrast to intra abdominal lump which is the common presentation) eventually managed with surgical intervention
