Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Primary omental torsion occurs when the mobile thickened segment of the omentum rotates around a proximal fixed point in the absence of any association or secondary intra abdominal pathology and is reported rarely in literature. Our patient was a 55 year old postmenopausal woman who presented with acute abdominal pain on the right side for 3 days and was diagnosed to have primary omental torsion.
