Are all primary omental infarcts truly idiopathic? Five case reports.

Background: Idiopathic omental infarction (IOI) is challenging to diagnose due to its low incidence and vague symptoms. Its differential diagnosis also poses difficulties because it can mimic many intra-abdominal organ pathologies. Although hypercoagulability and thrombosis are among the causes of omental infarction, venous thromboembolism scanning is rarely performed as an etiological investigation.

Fournier's gangrene originating from the perianal region or the urogenital area: does it make a difference?

Objective: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rare and serious disorder which is associated with high mortality. In the literature, there is no study evaluating clinician-, patient- and disease-related factors affecting disease outcomes according to aetiological variation in FG. In our study, laboratory results and Uludag Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (UFGSI) score, clinical characteristics and mortality rates were compared between FG originating from perianal or from urogenital regions.

Microperforation after colonic endoscopic submucosal dissection, air in 5 separate locations.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal dissection (EMD) are recognized treatment procedures for mucosal lesions. There will always be a risk for complications even if they are performed by experienced specialists. In this study, we aimed to present a 58-year-old male patient in whom lesion was detected in the proximal part of the descending colon during a colonoscopy.
