Omental torsion, a rare acute abdominal syndrome: A case report

We aimed to present a case of omental torsion, a very rare cause of acute abdomen. The patient, presenting to the emergency clinic with fever, nausea, vomiting, and severe abdominal pain, underwent immediate surgery due to a suspicion of omental torsion based on the physical examination and computed tomography (CT) scan results. It was observed during the nighttime emergency laparotomy for this patient that the omentum was torsioned, interrupting the blood supply to the distal part. This disrupted area was excised using a sealer/divider device. Although rare, omental torsion should be considered in instances of acute abdomen.
