Abstract: RESUMOIntrodução: A melhoria da acuidade diagnóstica do enfarte do omento resultou num incremento da atitude conservadora no seu tratamento.

“…In our study, all children with acute abdominal pain underwent US. An increasing incidence of obesity is an established risk factor for developing omental infarction (Theriot et al 2003;Rimon et al 2009;Estevão-Costa et al 2014;McCusker et al 2018). This aspect is reflected in our series of patients because most of them were overweight or obese.…”

“…The literature describes two types of treatment: conservative medical treatment and surgical intervention (Fragoso et al 2006;Itenberg et al 2010;Occhionorelli et al 2014). Conservative treatment includes appropriate hydration, analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs and prophylactic antibiotics (Puylaert 1992;Coulier 2006;Goh and Koong 2006;Estevão-Costa et al 2014); however, this conservative treatment has long been considered to be associated with complications, such as abscesses and adhesions induced by the persistence of necrotic tissue in the abdomen (Goti et al 2000;Itenberg et al 2010;AbdulAziz et al 2013;Estevão-Costa et al 2014;Occhionorelli et al 2014).…”
