[Epiploic appendagitis: an often-overlooked diagnosis].

Epiploic appendagitis is an etiology only coming at last of differential diagnoses in the face of acute abdominal pain. The typical patient is often a man between 20 and 50 years old, presenting with non-radiating abdominal pain with nausea, vomiting and inappetence with or without a mild febrile state. Biological assessment most of the time does not show any inflammatory syndrome, although slight elevations in sedimentation rate and CRP are possible.
