Popis:	Omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdomen. The diagnosis is usually not established before surgery, but recently some reports have described the usefulness of computed tomography (CT) for the detection of this condition. We encountered a 58-year-old man with torsion of the greater omentum secondary to right-sided inguinal hernia, and present the characteristic CT findings of a whirl-like mass with hyperattenuated fatty tissue.
