| Epiploic appendagitis is natural fats at the anti-mesenchymal surface of the
colon. EP is self- limited. Misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary hospitalization,
antibiotic therapy, and surgical intervention. The incidence reported 8.8 cases
/ million / year. Here, we report on 36-year-old female patient who presented
with acute abdominal pain that was getting worse with the change of position.
Based on these symptoms and double contrast computed tomography, she was
diagnosed with epiploic appendagitis in adjacent to the sigmoid. The patient was
treated successfully with conservative management and antibiotics. Since the
signs and symptoms of epiploic appendagitis are nonspecific, but considering
of this disease as one of the differential diagnoses of acute abdominal pain can
prevent the disease from misdiagnosing. |
