Two cases of omental torsion mimicking acute appendicitis.

Acute appendicitis is often simulated by other entities like mesenteric adenitis, worm infestation, Meckel's diverticulitis, urinary tract infection and rarely omental torsion. We report two cases, a 6 year old boy and an 11 year old girl, who presented with symptoms and signs of acute appendicitis but upon exploration turned out to be omental torsion.
