The purpose of this article is to review ultrasonographic appearance of the most common causes of nontraumatic acute abdominal pain in pediatric patients and to understand the applications and limitations of this technique giving a practical approach showing different clinical cases. A pictorial review of cases was made presenting the most common causes of neonatal and pediatric non-traumatic acute abdominal pain; sonographic features are discussed. Ultrasound in conjunction with Color Doppler imaging is a valuable tool in the evaluation of neonatal and pediatric nontraumatic acute abdominal pain; causes of acute abdomen in children could vary depending on the ages of the children. Keywords Paediatric abdominal pain Á Ultrasound Á Appendicitis Á Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis Á Intestinal intussusceptionRiassunto Lo scopo di questo articolo è stato di revisionare le caratteristiche ecografiche delle più comuni cause di dolore addominale in pazienti pediatrici, per comprendere le applicazioni ed i limiti di questa tecnica con un approccio pratico, presentando diversi casi clinici. Abbiamo revisionato i reperti ecografici delle più comuni cause di dolore addominale acuto pediatrico e neonatale non traumatico, infatti l'ecografia integrata dall'esame Color Doppler è uno strumento importante nella individuazione delle cause, che possono variare in base all'età dei pazienti.

“…Sonuçta omentum torsiyonunun preoperatif tanısı zordur ve genellikle akut karın nedeniyle laparotomi esnasında tespit edilmektedir. Ateşi olmayan stabil hastalarda konservatif tedavi tercih edilebilmektedir (6,7). Bu tedavi analjezikler ve antibiyotikleri içermekte olup rezolüs- (8).…”

“…Konservatif tedaviden bahsedilmesine rağmen geleneksel tedavi olan eksizyon adhezyon ve sepsis gibi sık görülen komplikasyonları azaltmaktadır (2,4). Omentum eksize edilmezse atrofik, fibrotik hale gelebildiği nadir olgularda pedikülün otoamputasyonu ile karşılaşılabilmektedir (7). Ayrıca, tedavi edilmediği durumlarda hemorajik infarkt, intraabdominal abse, peritonit ve omental nekroz görülebilmektedir (7).…”

“…In secondary variety, distal part is attached to any intra-abdominal pathology, such as tumour, cyst and others, so it is bipolar. 4 Primary omental torsion was first described by Eitel in 1899 and is very rare, with an incidence of 0.1% in children suffering from acute abdominal pain. 5 However, whatever may be the type, either primary or secondary, it is very difficult to diagnose pre-operatively.…”

Omental torsion, a very rare cause of acute abdominal pain, mimicking acute appendicitis .A boy of 11 years, presented to us with the symptoms and signs suggestive of acute appendicitis clinically, was admitted through OPD of Apollo Hospitals. His laboratory reports were also in favor of clinical diagnosis. Laparoscopic appendicectomy was planned. But on laparoscopic intra-abdominal inspection it was found to be a case of Omental torsion, distal part was closely adherent to the ascending colon and blackish in color. So, procedure was converted into laparotomy and resection of the tensioned and gangrenous part of the omentum including appendicectomy was done. His post operative period was uneventful. Although torsion of the omentum is a rare clinical entity, but accurate pre-operative clinical assessment and relevant study including imaging and CT abdomen may reduce the diagnostic dilemma between omental torsion and acute appendicitis.
