A case study of a 9-year-old boy who suffered from abdominal symptoms is presented. He complained of periumbilical pain for 3 days which had gradually radiated to his right iliac fossa in the 12 hours before presentation. With the series of examinations, omental torsion masquerading as appendicitis has been identified. It is classified as either primary or secondary, which arises as a result of adhesions between the omentum and intra-abdominal pathologies such as hernias or tumours. |
