Novel procedure for hepatic venous outflow block after liver resection: A case report.

Background: Postoperative complications like remnant hepatic vein (HV) outflow block and liver torsion can occur after right hepatectomy. Hepatic falciform ligament fixation is typically used to prevent liver torsion. We report a novel procedure to manage outflow block.

Emphysematous splenic torsion in a German shepherd dog.

A 9-year-old castrated male German shepherd dog was presented because of a 2-day history of lethargy and anorexia. Abdominal distention and free peritoneal fluid were noted on physical examination, which prompted radiographs revealing a large, soft tissue and stippled gas opaque structure in the right cranial abdomen. Computed tomography was used to further describe the structure and assess for comorbidities in the dog.

Primary omental torsion with clinical masquerading as acute appendicitis and radiological key for diagnosis.

Omental torsion is a medical condition characterized by the twisting of the omentum along its longitudinal axis, which leads to compromised blood flow. This condition is rarely diagnosed before surgery and can present symptoms similar to other causes of acute surgical abdomen. This report details a case of primary omental torsion initially suspected to be acute appendicitis.

An Indirect Inguinal Hernia in a Neonate Containing the Uterus, Ovary, and Fallopian Tube: A Report of a Rare Case and a Literature Review.

An indirect inguinal hernia is a commonly seen congenital condition that can impact infants within their first year of life. An inguinal hernia arises when a portion of the intestines, omentum, or reproductive structures herniate into the scrotal sac or labia through the patent processus vaginalis. These hernias occur more frequently in preterm newborns.

Lesser Omental Infarction: Clinical Insights and Diagnostic Challenges in a Rare Case of Acute Abdominal Pain.

Intraperitoneal focal fat infarction (IFFI) is a rare condition characterized by infarction of fatty tissue within the abdominal cavity. Lesser omental infarction, a relatively rare type of IFFI, occurs when there is an infarction of fat within the lesser omentum. Patients typically present with acute abdominal pain that can mimic more serious conditions.

Uncommon Etiologies of Acute Abdominal Pain: A Case Report on Omental Infarction.

Omental infarction is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain. The condition is often misdiagnosed due to its clinical similarity to more common abdominal pathologies like appendicitis and cholecystitis. This report presents the case of a 57-year-old female with a one-week history of left-sided abdominal pain, initially aggravated by eating and defecation.

Omental torsion mimicking acute appendicitis: A case report.

Introduction: Omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain caused by twisting of the omentum along its long axis, thus compromising its vascularity. Its presentation is non-specific and can mimic other common pathologies, making its pre-operative diagnosis challenging.

Presentation Of Case: A 44-year-old female presented for periumbilical abdominal pain.

Spontaneous omental infarction in an obese young female patient treated with laparoscopy: a case report.

Partial infarction of the great omentum is a rare cause of abdominal pain and may present as a surgical emergency. Omental infarction might occur due to its torsion, but cases without obvious cause are reported. Risk factors related to this condition are overweight, obesity, abdominal trauma, recent abdominal surgery, hypercoagulability, postprandial vascular congestion and an increase in intra-abdominal pressure.

Diagnostic challenge: Secondary omental torsion misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis-A case report.

This case presents a diagnostic challenge in a 28-year-old male initially evaluated for severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation, leading to the presumption of post-appendectomy complications. Clinical examination revealed abdominal distension, tenderness, and signs of peritonism, along with a reducible inguinal hernia. On subsequent CT scan, a large, inflamed area of omentum localized to the right abdomen extending up to the defect in the inguinal region with mild ascites was revealed.

Primary segmental omental torsion, mimicking acute appendicitis.

Primary segmental omental torsion (PSOT) is a very rare cause of acute abdominal pain, and it may often imitate the clinical picture of acute appendicitis. In instances of acute abdominal pain without anorexia, nausea, and vomiting, omental torsion should be included in the differential diagnosis. Any misdiagnosis may lead to major complications such as intraabdominal abscesses and adhesions.

Primary Omental Torsion in Children in the Laparoscopy Era: What Have we Learned so far?

Background/aim: Primary omental torsion is uncommon, mimicking appendicitis and other acute abdominal pathologies. It often escapes diagnosis on imaging investigation or conventional open laparotomy. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of laparoscopy on the various parameters of this entity, including incidence, diagnosis, and treatment.

Inguinal hernia leading to omental torsion: Role of CT in differentiating from other clinical mimics - a case report and literature review.

Omental torsion is a very rare cause of acute abdomen. Clinically, it mimics other common pathologies such as acute appendicitis, acute diverticulitis and acute cholecystitis. It is therefore no surprise, that it was rarely diagnosed pre operatively before the advent and easy availability of modern imaging techniques.

Computed tomography of a canine omental torsion secondary to a chronic abdominal gossypiboma and concurrent incidental broad ligament torsion.

A 5-year-old female spayed Dogue de Bordeaux was referred for concerns of an abdominal mass and peritoneal effusion. Abdominal radiographs identified a mid-ventral abdominal soft tissue opaque mass containing a radiopaque marker consistent with a gossypiboma. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT identified two whirl signs associated with the abdominal gossypiboma.

Omental Cyst With Torsion: A Rare Culprit of Pediatric Acute Abdomen.

Acute abdominal pain in pediatric patients poses a diagnostic challenge due to diverse etiologies, ranging from benign to life-threatening conditions. Omental cysts, though rare, constitute a distinctive subset characterized by a fluid-filled sac arising from the greater omentum. We present the case of a three-year-old male who presented with severe abdominal pain localized to the right upper quadrant, progressively worsening over 24 hours.

Omental torsion - A mimicker of the acute appendicitis - A case report.

Introduction: Omental torsion is due to the twisting of the omentum along its axis and is observed in young male patients. The first description of omental torsion was first made by Eitel in 1899.

Case Presentation: A 35-year-old male presented with right iliac fossa pain, nausea, occasional vomiting and loss of appetite for four days.

A mass conundrum.

A 30-year-old female presented to a rural hospital in Western Australia complaining of generalized abdominal pain and symptoms of partial bowel obstruction. Computed tomography (CT) showed a radiological 'whirl' sign, with images 4 years apart demonstrating interval progression. Given our patient's past history with miliary tuberculosis, we performed a diagnostic laparotomy which confirmed omental torsion.

Omental torsion: diagnostic challenge in patients with sclerosing cholangitis and inflammatory bowel disease - case report.

Introduction And Importance: The omentum appears as an apron-like extension of the peritoneum.

Case Presentation: A 30-year-old male patient, presented to the emergency department with the chief complaints of acute nonradiating pain localized in the right-side abdomen for the past 3 days. The patient had a past medical history of sclerosing cholangitis (SC) with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Preservation of ovarian tissue embedded in omentum following torsion and auto-amputation of the left ovary and fallopian tube in a 14-year-old girl: A case report.

Introduction: Autoamputation of the ovary and fallopian tube is a scarce phenomenon particularly in adolescents but could adversely affect fertility by causing ovarian damage and loss of tubal function.

Case Presentation: A case of autoamputation of the left adnexa as a result of chronic torsion in the setting of an ovarian dermoid cyst in an adolescent girl is presented. The patient had also a large dermoid cyst in the contralateral ovary which was in danger of another torsion and loss of ovarian reserve and tube.
