“…Epiploic appendagitis is a rare condition with an incidence of 8.8 per 1 million people. 4 This condition may clinically mimic diverticulitis or appendicitis. Primary epiploic appendagitis occurs due to ischemic infarction as a result of appendage torsion or spontaneous thrombosis.…”

Coexistence of acute epiploic appendagitis with acute pyelonephritis is a rare occurrence. Present study report here a case of a 36-year-old male with a past history of appendectomy presenting with complaints of pain abdomen, nausea, increased frequency of micturition and dysuria. On examination, there was tenderness and guarding in the left iliac fossa. CECT abdomen revealed resolving acute epiploic appendagitis with acute pyelonephritis. He was managed conservatively with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents to which he responded. Thus, epiploic appendagitis is a benign self-limiting condition which when diagnosed early prevents unnecessary surgical interventions.

ÖzetAkut karın ağrısına neden olan primer apendisitis epiploika, kolonun epiploik apendikslerinin kendi kendini sınırlayan benign inflamatuar hastalığıdır. Tedavisi konservatiftir ve klinik olarak akut apandisit ya da omental torsiyon gibi cerrahi tedavi gerektiren durumlara benzer. Ancak nadir olması nedeni ile genellikle akut abdominal ağrılı olgularda hem cerrah hem de radyolog tarafından göz ardı edilir. Ancak bu hastalığın bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) bulguları karakteristik olup tanı koydurucudur. Bu nedenle gereksiz cerrahi girişimlerin önlenmesi açısından bu hastalığın farkında olunması ve teşhis için BT tetkikinin seçilmesi son derece önemlidir.Biz burada bilgisayarlı tomografi ile tanısı konan akut abdominal ağrıya neden olan primer apendisitis epiploika olgusunu sunduk. Anahtar KelimelerApendisitis Epiploika; Bilgisayarlı Tomografi; Akut Abdominal Ağrı AbstractPrimary appendagitis epiploica -one of the causes of acute abdominal pain -is a self-limited rare benign inflammatory condition involving the colonic epiploic appendages. Their therapy is conservative and clinically mimics other conditions requiring surgery such as acute appendicitis or omental torsion. However, being a quite rare condition is the reason they are usually neglected by both the surgeon and the radiologist. However the computed tomography (CT) findings are rather characteristic and pathognomonic. Thus, to consider CT as the diagnostic modality of choice is extremely important in order to diagnose the condition and to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions. This is a paper reporting an acute abdominal pain case of primary appendicitis epiploica diagnosed using computed tomography.
